OPERATE MACHINE SAFELY
Always walk around and visually inspect the machine before using. Check immediate vicinity of machine for
people and obstructions. Ensure adequate visibility.
Avoid distractions such as reading, eating or operating personal electronics that take your attention away from
operating the machine. Never operate the machine under the influence of alcohol, drugs or while otherwise
impaired.
Always come to a complete stop before reversing. Be sure that all personnel are clear of machine path. Turn
around and look directly for best visibility. Ensure all rear view mirrors are properly installed and adjusted. Use a
signal person when backing if view is obstructed or when in close quarters.
Always disengage hydraulics before shutting down engine. DO NOT start engine with hydraulics engaged.
