FIRE HAZARDS
The machine has several components that operate at
high temperature under normal operation conditions,
primarily the engine and exhaust systems. Also, the
electrical system, if not properly maintained or if dam-
aged, can arc or produce sparks. These conditions
make it extremely important to avoid circumstances
where explosive dust or gases can be ignited by arcs,
sparks or heat.
The machine must be cleaned on a regular basis to
avoid the buildup of flammable debris such as leaves,
straw, etc. Accumulated debris, particularly in the
engine compartment, poses a fire hazard.
Add fuel, oil, antifreeze and hydraulic fluid to the
machine only in a well ventilated area. The machine
must be parked with controls, lights and switches
turned off. The engine must be turned off before refuel-
ing or service checks are performed.
Static electricity can produce dangerous sparks at the
fuel-filling nozzle. In very cold, dry weather or other
conditions that could produce static discharge, keep the
tip of the fuel nozzle in constant contact with the filler
neck of the fuel tank, to provide a ground. Make sure
that the static line is connected from the excavator to
the service truck before fueling begins.
Keep fuel and other fluid reservoir caps tight and do
not start the engine until caps have been secured.
Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank, while working
on the fuel or hydraulic systems, or while working
around the battery.
Take care to avoid spilling combustible fluids, such as
oil or fuel, on a hot engine.
Fire Extinguisher Recommendation
It is recommended that a 5 lb. (2.27 kg) or larger,
multi-purpose “A/B/C” fire extinguisher be mounted in
the cab. Check the fire extinguisher periodically and be
sure that work crew members are trained in its use.
After the machine has been parked properly, shut down
the engine and cycle all controls to release any remain-
ing hydraulic system pressure. Be sure all switches and
operating controls are in the OFF position and the left-
hand console is raised, locking out the hydraulic func-
tions.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
EQUIPMENT
Severe operation may require use of additional
safety equipment
Work in mines, tunnels, deep pits or on loose or wet
surfaces could produce the hazard of falling rock, roll
over or falling objects.
Any operator protective system installed on the
machine must comply with applicable safety standards
and carry appropriate labeling and rating information.
For example, the cab of an excavator used in applica-
tions with falling object hazards must meet Society of
Automotive Engineers Standard SAE J1356, “Perfor-
mance Criteria for Falling Object Guards for Excava-
tors.”
Never attempt to alter or modify the protective struc-
ture, by drilling holes, welding or re-locating fasteners.
Any serious impact or damage to the system requires a
complete integrity re-evaluation, and the replacement
of the system may be necessary.
Install additional safety equipment if conditions
require.
When working with a hydraulic breaker, a front guard
over the windshield may be required.
Laminated glass or polycarbonate protection for the
front, side or rear windows may also be recommended
depending upon particular work conditions.
Contact your dealer for available safety guards and/or
recommendations if there is any risk of being hit by
objects that could strike the operator’s cab.
Eye Protection and Safety Clothing
Wear full eye protection, ear and head protection,
safety shoes, gloves and any other protective clothing
or equipment as needed while operating the machine.
Safety Equipment Maintenance
Machinery guards and body panel covers must be in
place at all times. Keep clear of rotating parts, such as
cooling fan and alternator belts, which could catch hair,
jewelry or loose clothing.
All safety equipment must be maintained so it is
always in good condition.
