Precautions while operating the truck
When starting the engine
• Never attempt to start the engine by shorting
across cranking motor terminals. This may cause
a fire, or serious injury or death to anyone in
truck’s path.
• Never start the engine if a warning tag has been
attached to the controls.
• When starting the engine, sound the horn as an
alert.
• Start and operate the truck only while seated in
the operator’s seat.
• Do not allow any unauthorized persons in the
operator's compartment or any other place on the
truck.
General truck operation
• Wear the seat belt at all times.
• Only authorized persons are allowed to ride in the
truck. Riders must be in the cab and belted in the
passenger seat.
• Do not allow anyone to ride on the decks or steps
of the truck.
• Do not allow anyone to get on or off the truck
while it is in motion.
• Do not move the truck in or out of a building
without a signal person present.
• Know and obey the hand signal communications
between operator and spotter. When other
machines and personnel are present, the
operator should move in and out of buildings,
loading areas, and through traffic under the
direction of a signal person. Courtesy at all times
is a safety precaution.
• Immediately report any adverse conditions at the
haul road, pit or dump area that may cause an
operating hazard.
• Check for flat tires periodically during a shift. If the
truck has been operating on a “flat”, do not park
the truck inside a building until the tire cools. If the
tire must be changed, do not stand in front of the
rim and locking ring when inflating a tire mounted
on the truck. Observers should not be permitted
in the area and should be kept away from the side
of such tires.
The tire and rim assembly may explode if
subjected to excessive heat. Personnel should
move to a remote or protected location if sensing
excessively hot brakes, smelling burning rubber
or observing evidence of fire near the tire and
wheel area.
If the truck must be approached to extinguish a
fire, those personnel should do so only while
facing the tread area of the tire (front or back)
unless protected by using large heavy equipment
as a shield. Stay at least 15 m (50 ft) from the
tread of the tire.
In the event of fire in the tire and wheel area
(including brake fires), stay away from the truck
for at least 8 hours or until the tire and wheel are
cool.
• Keep serviceable fire fighting equipment on hand.
Report empty extinguishers for replacement or
refilling.
• Always place the directional control lever in the
PARK position when the truck is parked and
unattended. Do not leave the truck unattended
while the engine is running.
NOTE: DO NOT use wheel brake lock when parking
the truck.
• Park the truck a safe distance away from other
vehicles as determined by the supervisor.
• Stay alert at all times! In the event of an
emergency, be prepared to react quickly and
avoid accidents. If an emergency arises, know
where to get prompt assistance.
Ensuring good visibility
• When working in dark places, install work lamps
and head lamps. Set up extra lighting in the work
area if necessary.
• Discontinue operations if visibility is poor, such as
in mist, snow, or rain. Wait for the weather to
improve to allow the operation to be performed
safely.
