2 - SAFETY INFORMATION
Operating precautions [60621652]
• Check brakes, steering and other machine control de-
vices in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions prior to starting operation. Observe all gauges or
warning instruments for proper operation. Operate all
controls to insure proper operation. If any malfunctions
are found, remove the starter key or disconnect switch
key. Place a DO NOT OPERATE tag on the machine
until the malfunction is corrected.
• If a failure that causes loss of control such as steer-
ing, service brakes, or engine occurs, stop the machine
motion as quickly as possible, remove the starter key or
disconnect switch key. Place a DO NOT OPERATE tag
on the machine, and keep it securely parked until the
malfunction is corrected or the machine can be safely
towed.
• Understand the machine limitations, and keep the ma-
chine under control.
• Operate and drive the machine with care and at speed
compatible with conditions. Use extra caution when op-
erating over rough ground, on slopes, and when turn-
ing.
• Note and avoid all hazards and obstructions such as
ditches, underground lines, trees, cliffs, overhead elec-
trical wires, or areas where there is danger of a slide.
• Carry loads in recommended positions for maximum
stability.
• Never lift loads in excess of capacity.
• Use the recommended machine ballast and counter-
weighting.
• Know and understand the job site traffic flow patterns
and obey signalmen, road signs, and flagmen.
• Know and understand that job site conditions may
change on an hourly basis. Hills of dirt, debris or
obstructions may grow and change from the time you
began the day. It is your responsibility to monitor the
changes and keep the machine, tools and attach-
ments, etc. a safe distance.
• Watch for bystanders and never allow anyone to be un-
der or to reach through the machine and its equipment
while operating.
• Select a gear that will prevent excessive speed when
going downhill. Do not coast downhill.
• When roading a machine, know and use the signaling
devices required on the machine. Provide an escort for
roading where required.
• On machines with independently operated wheel
brakes, lock the brake pedals together when roading
to provide equalized brake application.
• Use the recommended transport devices when road-
ing the machine. Proper lights, flashers, signals, and
beacons may be required. Use reflective slow moving
vehicle signs where necessary. Follow local, state, and
federal regulations.
• Use the approved drawbar and/or attachment point
when using the machine for towing. If a cable or chain
is used, keep people away from the tow line.
• Before you operate at night, check that all lamps illumi-
nate.
• If your machine has a cab, make sure that all windows
are clean and that the windshield wipers and washers
work correctly.
• Engine exhaust fumes can cause death. If you operate
this machine in an enclosed area, make sure there is
ventilation to replace the exhaust fumes with fresh air.
• Check all controls in a clear area and make sure the
machine is operating correctly. Dust, fog, smoke, etc.,
can decrease your vision and cause an accident. Stop
the machine or decrease the speed until you can see.
• Contact with high voltage power lines, underground ca-
bles, etc., can cause serious injury or death from elec-
trocution.
• Before you drive or operate in an area with high volt-
age lines, cables, or a power station, tell the power or
utility company what you are going to do. You MUST
HAVE THE POWER DISCONNECTED OR KEEP A
SAFE WORKING DISTANCE from the lines, cables, or
power station.
• Keep all parts of the machine a safe distance away from
the power source. You must also know any federal,
state/provincial, or local safety codes or regulations that
apply to the job site.
• If a part of the machine touches high voltage power:
1. Warn other workers NOT TO TOUCH THE MA-
CHINE and to stay away from the machine.
2. If you can break contact, reverse the operation that
caused contact with the high voltage power, and
move the machine away from the danger area. If
you cannot break contact stay in the machine until
the utility company de-energizes the line and tells
you that the power is off.
• If you have extreme conditions, such as a fire, etc., and
you are forced to leave the machine, do not step off the
machine. Jump as far from the machine as possible
with your feet together and do not touch the ground with
your hands.
• Do not operate the machine if you do not feel well. This
can be dangerous for you and for the people around
you.
