•
Wear proper hand and eye protection
when searching for a high-pressure
hydraulic leak. Use a piece of wood
or cardboard as a backstop instead of
hands to isolate and identify a leak.
•
If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream of
hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention immediately. Serious
infection or toxic reaction can develop from hydraulic fluid
piercing the skin surface.
•
Relieve pressure on hydraulic system before working on
system.
•
A heavy load can cause the mini skid steer to become
unstable. Use extreme care during travel (slow down on
turns and watch out for bumps).
2.4.1 Safe Condition
Throughout this manual, we talk about a '
Safe Condition
'. What
this means is parking the machine in a manner that makes it
safe to service or repair.
Place the machine in a Safe Condition before performing
any service, maintenance work, or storage preparation by
performing the following:
•
Empty material from grapple.
•
Lower grapple to ground.
•
Shut down mini skid steer engine.
•
Move controls to verify there is no movement.
Designated Safe Area
(See following page.)
•
A
Safe Area
must be designated for workers on foot near
this equipment.
•
The boundaries of a designated
Safe Area
must be
communicated to all workers within and near the
Work
Zone
.
•
No equipment should enter or proceed through a
Safe Area
unless—
-
The equipment operator first obtains permission in a
clear and unmistakable manner from all the workers
in that safe work area or from the supervisor of those
workers, and
-
Those workers take a safe position.
Work Zone Arrangement
•
A
Work Zone
includes any area where work with this
grapple is done but does not include the traveled portion
of a road unless that portion of the road is being used as a
landing.
•
Work being done inside a
Work Zone
in a forestry operation
must be planned, and the work area must be located,
constructed, maintained, and operated to make sure that:
-
Logs can be moved safely in the area
-
Log piles and equipment used to handle the logs do not
become unstable or otherwise create a hazard
-
Workers can work in locations clear of moving logs and
equipment
-
Workers are not exposed to incoming or runaway logs
or other debris
-
The area is kept free from buildup of bark and other
debris to the extent that it would pose a risk to workers
-
An effective method of dust control is used and
maintained
•
Log piles must, to the extent practicable, be located on
stable and relatively level ground.
•
Log piles must not be higher than the safe operating reach
of the mini skid steer being used to handle the logs.
