Secton 3 - Safety Rules and Hazards
Do not start the engine if you smell or detect liquid petroleum gas (LPG), gasoline, diesel fuel or other
explosive substances.
Do not refuel the machine with the engine running.
Refuel the machine and charge the battery only in an open, well-ventilated area away from sparks,
flames and lighted tobacco.
Do not operate the machine in hazardous locations or locations where potentially flammable or
explosive gases or particles may be present.
Do not spray ether into engines equipped with glow plugs.
Damaged Machine Hazards
Do not use a damaged or malfunctioning machine.
Conduct a thorough pre-operation inspection of the machine and test all functions before each work
shift. Immediately tag and remove from service a damaged or malfunctioning machine.
Be sure all maintenance has been performed as specified in this manual.
Be sure all decals are in place and legible.
Be sure the operator’s manual is complete, legible and in the storage container located in the
platform.
Bodily Injury Hazard
Always operate the machine in a well-ventilated area to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
Do not operate the machine with a hydraulic oil leak. A hydraulic leak can penetrate and/or burn skin.
Improper contact with components under any cover will cause serious injury. Only trained
maintenance personnel should access compartments. Access by the operator is only advised when
performing a pre-operation inspection. All compartments must remain closed and secured during
operation.
Outrigger Safety
Do not lower the outriggers unless the machine is on a firm surface. Avoid drop-offs, holes, unstable
or slippery surfaces and other possible hazardous conditions.
When the auto level function is not being used and the outriggers are being lowered individually, the
steer-end outriggers must be lowered first.
Do not raise the platform unless the machine is level. Do not set the machine up on a surface where it
cannot be leveled using only the outriggers.
