AVOID INJURY FROM REVERSE TRAVEL AND
SWING ACCIDENTS
To avoid accidents due to swinging or reverse travel
check the area around the machine. Before reverse
travel or swinging the machine, make sure that
nobody is present within its working reach. Use horn
or other signals to warn bystanders before starting
machine.
Take advantage of a person that watches the
reverse travel if visibility is hindered. Always keep
signalling person in view.
Use manual signals, according to local rules, if
working condition require a flagman.
No motions shall be made unless signals are clearly
understood by both signalman and operator.
Learn the meaning of all flags, signs, and markings
used on the job and confirm who has the responsi-
bility for signalling.
Keep windows, mirrors, and lights clean and in good
condition.
Adjust the position of the rearview mirrors so that the
side areas and the rear area are completely visible
as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
the picture aside also shows the visible
zones according to the rearview mirrors so that their
correct adjustment is intuitive.
