Avoid Backover Accidents
Keep the windows, mirrors, and lights clean and in good
condition.
Before moving the machine, make sure all bystanders
are clear of the intended path.
Before moving the machine, warn others with the horn.
Use a signal person if the view is obstructed when
backing up. Keep the signal person in view at all times.
Dust and Chemical Hazards
Hazardous dust or chemicals present a serious danger
when they are released or mishandled. All workers
involved should use approved personal protective
equipment (PPE) and follow all environmental safety
regulations.
Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for guidelines on
personal protective equipment (PPE), proper handling
and cleanup, and correct reporting agencies if needed.
Environmental Precautions

Figure 2-2
Oils and coolants poured onto the ground, into bodies of
water, into storm drains, or tossed into trash cans (even
in a sealed container) can contaminate and pollute the
soil, groundwater, streams, and rivers.
Recycling used oil, coolants, and filters helps conserve
natural resources and is good for the environment.
Obey all regulations when disposing of harmful items
such as oil, fuel, filters, batteries, hydraulic oil, and used
parts.
Precautions in High-Voltage Areas
0000637
Figure 2-3
WARNING
Overhead power lines carry high-voltage
electricity that can discharge to the ground
through the machine, even without direct contact
with the machine’s structure. Avoid direct contact
with high-voltage power lines while operating.
High-voltage contact could result in equipment
damage, death, or serious injury.
Stay clear of overhead power lines. They are an electrical
hazard. Treat all overhead power lines as being
energized and not insulated.
Be sure all underground utilities have been marked
before excavating.
