Safely Operate Equipment
Do not operate equipment until you are trained by a qualified operator in its use and capabilities.
See your carrier’s manual for these instructions.
3
Operate only from the operator’s seat. Check the seat belt daily and replace if frayed or
damaged.
3
Do not operate this or any other equipment under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If you
are taking prescription medication or over-the-counter drugs ask your medical provider
whether you can safely operate equipment.
3
Never leave equipment unattended with the engine running or with the attachment in a
raised position. Apply the brakes before exiting the equipment.
3
Do not exceed the lifting capacity of your carrier.
3
Avoid conditions that can lead to tipping. The carrier can tip when operated on hills, ridges,
banks and slopes. Avoid operating across a slope which could cause the carrier to overturn.
3
Reduce speed when driving over rough terrain, on a slope, or when
turning to avoid overturning the carrier.
3
Never use the attachment as a work platform or personnel carrier.
3
Keep all step plates, grab bars, pedals and controls free of dirt, grease,
debris and oil.
3
Never allow anyone to be around the equipment when it is operating.
3
Do not operate poorly maintained or otherwise faulty equipment. Inform the proper authority
and DO NOT resume operation until the problem has been fixed.
3
Do not alter or remove any safety features.
3
Know your work site safety rules as well as traffic rules and flow. When
in doubt on any safety issue, contact your supervisor or safety coordi-
nator for an explanation.
3
A heavy load can cause equipment instability. Use extreme care during travel. Slow down
on turns and watch out for bumps. The equipment may need additional counter-weights to
counterbalance the weight of the attachment.
