machine or attempt to attach the load until the excavator has stopped
and the operator has signaled for the attachment.

installed and are functional, and if all brake, light and hydraulic connections have been
connected.

lights are installed and functional.

confirm that the attachment is securely locked in place. The operator shall perform a
check operation to confirm the latching integrity before operating at a production pace.
