Prevent Unintended Machine Movement
Always move the park lock lever to the up (locked)
position before leaving the operator's seat for any
reason
.
Be careful not to accidentally actuate controls when
coworkers are present. Engage park lock and lower
work equipment to the ground during work interruptions.
Stop the engine before allowing anyone to approach the
machine. Follow these same precautions before standing
up, leaving the operator's seat, or exiting the machine.

Use Ground Guide
Always use a ground guide when driving the machine in
congested areas and up and down ramps in preparation
for highway, marine, or air transport. Ground guide must
be familiar with the use of recognized and standardized
hand signals. Failure to use a ground guide can result
in an accident, causing injury or death to personnel or
damage to equipment.
Avoid Work Site Hazards
Avoid contact with gas lines, buried cables, and water
lines. Call utility line location services to identify all
underground utilities before starting work.
Prepare work site properly.
Avoid operating near
structures or objects that could fall onto the machine. Clear
away debris that could move unexpectedly if run over.
Avoid boom or attachment contact with overhead
obstacles or overhead electrical lines.
Never move
machine closer than 3 m (10 ft) plus twice the line insulator
length to overhead wires.
Keep bystanders clear at all times.
Keep bystanders
away from raised booms, attachments, and unsupported
loads. Avoid swinging or raising booms, attachments, or
loads over or near personnel. Use barricades or a signal
person to keep vehicles and pedestrians away. Use a
signal person if moving machine in congested areas or
where visibility is restricted. Always keep signal person in
view. Coordinate hand signals before starting machine.
Operate only on solid footing
with strength sufficient
to support machine. Be especially alert working near
embankments or excavations.
Avoid working under over-hanging embankments or
stockpiles
that could collapse under or on machine.
Reduce machine speed
when operating with tool on or
near ground when obstacles may be hidden (e.g., during
snow removal or clearing mud, dirt, etc.). At high speeds,
