GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! PROTECT AGAINST FLYING DEBRIS
Always wear proper safety glasses, goggles, or a face shield when driving
pins in or out, or when any operation causes dust, flying debris, or any other
hazardous material.
WARNING! LOWER OR SUPPORT RAISED EQUIPMENT
Do not work under raised booms without supporting them. Do not use support
material made of concrete blocks, logs, buckets, barrels, or any other material
that could suddenly collapse or shift positions. Make sure support material is
solid, not decayed, warped, twisted, or tapered. Lower booms to ground level
or on blocks. Lower booms and attachments to the ground before leaving the
cab or operator’s station.
WARNING! USE CARE WITH HYDRAULIC FLUID PRESSURE
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury
or death. Hydraulic leaks under pressure may not be visible. Before connect-
ing or disconnecting hydraulic hoses, read your prime mover’s operator’s
manual for detailed instructions on connecting and disconnecting hydraulic
hoses or fittings.
• Keep unprotected body parts, such as face, eyes, and arms as far away
as possible from a suspected leak. Flesh injected with hydraulic fluid may
develop gangrene or other permanent disabilities.
•
If injured by injected fluid, see a doctor at once. If your doctor is not famil
-
iar with this type of injury, ask him to research it immediately to determine
proper treatment.
• Wear safety glasses, protective clothing, and use a piece of cardboard or
wood when searching for hydraulic leaks.
DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS!
