WARNING
Beware of entanglement and crushing hazards especially when removing
blockages.
Near the snow blower the hazards of entanglement and severing are
present. The snow blower must be stopped following the safe stopping procedure before
going near it. Never put your hand inside the discharge chute or the auger; always use a
brush or other suitable medium. Removing the discharge chute guard is allowed only
when removing blockages. The guard must be securely locked in its place immediately
after clearing the blockage.
DANGER
Risk of crushing - Going under the loader boom or an attachment can cause
serious injury or death.
Never go under the loader boom and prevent others from
getting near lifted boom or attachment. Going under a raised attachment or loader boom
is dangerous, as the boom may lower due to loss of stability, mechanical fault or when
other person operates the controls of the loader. Lower the attachment firmly on the
ground before leaving the driver’s seat.
Remember to wear proper personal protective equipment:
The noise level at the driver's seat may exceed 85 dB(A) depending on loader
model and operating cycle. Extended exposure to loud noise can cause
hearing impairment. Wear hearing protection while working with the loader.
Wear protective gloves.
Wear safety boots whenever working with the loader.
Wear safety glasses e.g. when handling hydraulic components.
