Remove all trash and debris from the machine every
day, especially in the engine compartment, to minimize
the risk of fire.
The operator’s area, steps and hand holds must be kept
free of oil, dirt, ice and unsecured objects.
Never use ether starting aids. Glow plugs are used for
cold weather starting. Glow plugs can cause ether or
other starting fluid to detonate, causing injury or dam-
age.
Walk around the machine and inspect it before using it.
Look for damage, loose or missing parts, leaks, etc.
Repair as required before using the machine.
Check the tracks for damage at regular intervals.
Repair or replace as necessary.
Warn all nearby personnel before starting the machine.
Below-ground hazards also include water mains, tun-
nels and buried foundations. Know what is underneath
the work site before starting to dig.
Before working near power lines (either above-ground
or buried cable-type), always contact the power utility
and establish a safety plan with them.
Be aware of height obstacles. Any object in the vicinity
of the boom could represent a potential hazard, or
cause the operator to react suddenly and cause an acci-
dent. Use a spotter or signal person when working near
bridges, phone lines, work site scaffolds, or other
obstructions.
Depending upon the voltage in the line and atmo-
spheric conditions, strong current shocks can occur if
the boom or bucket is closer than 10 ft. (3 m) to the
power line. Very high voltage and rainy weather can
further increase the safe operating distance.
If a lighting system is installed, check its operation
before working in darkness.
Use warning tag/control lockout procedures during ser-
vice. Alert others that service or maintenance is being
performed by tagging the operator’s controls — and
other machine areas if required — with a warning
notice.
NEVER
start the engine if there is any indica-
tion that maintenance or service work is in progress, or
if a warning tag is attached to controls in the cab.
Replace damaged safety decals and a lost or damaged
operator’s manual. Always store this operator’s manual
in the storage compartment provided for it inside the
cab.
Work crew members should observe and monitor all
terrain and soil conditions at the work site, along with
traffic, weather-related hazards and any above- or
below-ground obstacles and hazards.
If the machine is equipped with a cab, keep the wind-
shield, mirrors and windows clean. If equipped, adjust
the rearview mirrors to provide the best view to the rear
of the machine. Poor visibility can cause accidents.
Adjust the seat to allow complete and comfortable
access to the controls. Never adjust the seat during
machine operation.
Stop the engine and lock out the controls by raising left
control console before mounting attachments. Check
that attachments are securely fastened to the excavator
before using them.
Before working on or with the machine, remove jew-
elry, tie back long hair, and do not wear loose fitting
garments, such as, scarves, ties, unzipped jackets, etc.,
which could become caught in the moving parts of the
machine and cause injury.
Do not use the machine when maintenance is sched-
uled to be performed. Postponing maintenance can
result in a serious reduction of the service life of the
machine, more serious and costly equipment failures,
and contribute to unsafe operating conditions.
During Operation
ALWAYS fasten the seat belt securely and properly.
Never operate the machine without the seat belt fas-
tened around the operator.
Operate ONLY while seated in the operator’s seat.
Never reach in through a window to work a control. Do
not try to operate the excavator unless you’re in the
operator’s position, seated at the controls. Stay alert
and focused on your work at all times.
Always keep hands and feet inside the operator’s com-
partment while operating the machine.
Control the machine cautiously and gradually until
fully familiar with all the controls and handling. Avoid
high-voltage lines. Serious injury or death can result
from contact or proximity to high-voltage electric lines.
The bucket or boom does not have to make physical
contact with power lines for current to be transmitted.
Use care on loose ground. Working heavy loads over
loose, soft ground or uneven, broken terrain can cause
dangerous side-load conditions and possible tip over
and injury. Traveling with a suspended load or an
unbalanced load can also be hazardous.
