• Create a Work Zone for the machine and the load. Mark
it with safety cones or barricades to warn bystanders to
stay outside of it.
• Know where coworkers are at all times and be alert for
unexpected workers or bystanders entering your Work
Zone. Make eye contact with anyone entering the zone.
• Do not allow anyone near the grapple while in operation.
Always keep coworkers and bystanders in full view at all
times while loading.
• Protective cab shields must be provided on a log loader
unless the absence of shields does not pose a hazard to
the operator.
• Always wear the seat belt while operating the grapple.
Remain seated in the operator's seat during operation.
• Never lift, move or swing a load over personnel, the cab
of other machines, or vehicles in the area.
• Never exit the machine leaving a load suspended. When
leaving the machine for any reason, always lower the
grapple to the ground.
• Close the grapple completely around logs. Avoid pinching
a log with the grapple.
• Avoid operating where there is a possibility of the
grappled load striking other obstacles.
• Use more than one of the excavator controls at a time so
movements are smooth.
• If piling logs, piles should be in a level, clear area to
prevent logs from rolling. Make even piles so logs are
parallel and ends match.
• Clean debris from the loading area. Debris may interfere
with grappling.
• Place the grapple on the ground and stop the engine
before exiting the excavator.
