and close to the ground can be diffi
-
cult to see from the cab .
• Always look in the direction of
travel, including reverse . A back-up
alarm is not a substitute for looking
behind you when operating the
machine in reverse .
• Keep bystanders out of and away
from the work area .
• Keep the lift arm as low as possi-
ble while traveling . See “Lift Arm
Travel Position” on page 90 .
• Control the machine cautiously until
fully familiar with all the controls and
handling .
• Carry the load low . Move the controls
smoothly and gradually, and operate at
speeds appropriate for the conditions .
• New operators must learn to operate
the machine in an open area away from
bystanders . Practice with the controls
until the machine can be operated safely
and efficiently.
• Do not overload the machine . See
“Payloads/Capacities” on page 41 for
load limits. Be aware that effective
operating capacity is reduced when the
machine is turned .
• Do not raise or drop a loaded bucket or
attachment suddenly . Abrupt movements
under load can cause serious instability .
• DO NOT ram the lift cylinder to the end
of the stroke . The resulting jolt could spill
the load .
• Do not use the machine to lift or transport
people . Never carry riders . Do not allow
others to ride on the machine or attach-
ments, because they could fall or cause an
accident .
• Never leave the operator’s seat without
lowering the lift arm/attachment flat
on the ground or engaging the lift arm
support device(s), and then stopping the
engine and removing the ignition key .
• Stop the engine and place the controls
in the lock-out position before mounting
attachments . Check that attachments are
securely fastened to the lift arm before
working .
•
Be aware that attachments affect the han
-
dling and balance of the machine . Adjust
the operation of the machine as necessary
when using attachments .
• Before coupling or uncoupling the
hydraulic lines for the attachment, stop
the engine and press the auxiliary hydrau-
lics pressure relief switch to relieve pres-
sure in the auxiliary hydraulics circuit .
• Make sure the bucket is lowered to the
ground before activating the lift arm float.
Never activate the float function with
the bucket or attachment raised, because
this will cause the lift arm and bucket or
attachment to drop suddenly .
• Be aware of overhead obstacles . Any
object near the lift arm could represent a
potential hazard, or cause the operator to
react suddenly and cause an accident . Use
a spotter or signal person when working
near bridges, phone lines, work site scaf-
folds, or other obstructions .
• Do not place limbs near moving parts .
Severing of body parts can result .
• Exhaust fumes can kill . Do not operate
the machine in an enclosed area without
adequate ventilation . Internal combustion
engines deplete the oxygen supply within
enclosed spaces and may create a serious
hazard unless the oxygen is replaced .
• Operators should be aware of any open
windows, doors or duct work into which
exhaust gases may be carried, exposing
others to danger .
• Never allow anyone under a raised lift
arm . Lowering the lift arm or a falling
load can result in death or serious per-
sonal injury .
• Avoid slowing suddenly while carrying a
load . Sudden slowing can cause the load
