SAFETY RECOGNIZE SAFETY INFORMATION SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL This symbol, which will appear at various points in the manual and on the rigid dump truck together with a warning statement, means: “Warning, be alert! Your safety is involved!” Carefully read the message that follows. It is the obligation of the operator to make sure that all warning decals are in place on the rigid dump truck and that they are readable.

Accidents may otherwise occur.

Follow recommended precautions and safe operating practices.

Every country (Jurisdiction) has its own safety regulations. It is the obligation of the operator to know and follow these. This also applies to local regulations covering different types of work. Should the recommendations in this manual deviate from those of your country (State), your local safety regulations should be followed.

UNDERSTAND SIGNAL WORD On the rigid dump truck safety signs, signal words designating the degree or level of hazard – DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION – are used with the safety alert symbol.

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING indicates a potential hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

DANGER or WARNING safety signs are located near specific hazards. General precautions are listed on CAUTION safety signs.

These signal words also call attention to safety messages in this manual.

To avoid confusing rigid dump truck protection with personal safety messages, a signal word IMPORTANT indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in damage to the rigid dump truck.

NOTE: indicates an additional explanation for an element of information.

S-1

SAFETY OPERATOR’S QUALIFICATIONS Only trained personnel should operate the rigid dump truck.

Operator should be of legal operating age according to country (Jurisdiction) regulations and familiar with the operation and maintenance of the rigid dump truck.

SAFETY AVOID TIPPING Keep the rigid dump truck at safe distance from the edge of cliffs and slide areas. There is the danger of tipping or roll over.

Avoid operating on the side of slopes.

Use the seat belt during operation.

When operating the rigid dump truck, both doors should be closed at all times.

The cab is for the protection of the operator and it meets the requirements for rollover protection structures (ROPS) according to the adopted standard for this rigid dump truck.

THE OPERATOR AND PASSENGER SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO JUMP CLEAR OF A TIPPING RIGID DUMP TRUCK --- SERIOUS OR FATAL CRUSHING INJURIES WILL RESULT. A RIGID DUMP TRUCK WILL TIP OVER FASTER THAN YOU CAN JUMP FREE. THEREFORE, HOLD FIRMLY ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL IF THE RIGID DUMP TRUCK SHOULD TIP OR ROLL OVER. DO NOT JUMP. IMPORTANT Never make any unauthorized modifications or alterations to the Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) such as; welding on fire extinguisher brackets, CB antenna brackets, or fire suppression systems. Such unauthorized modifications will affect the structural limits of the ROPS and will void the certification and could result in loss of protection to the operator.

The Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) has been certified to meet specified requirements according to SAE J1040C, ISO 3471 and ISO 3449.

Any planned modification or change must be reviewed in advance by our Engineering Department to determine if the modification or change can be made within the limits of the certified tests.

IMPORTANT Each person in your organization, including management should be made aware of these rules involving the Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS). Whenever anyone sees a rigid dump truck’s ROPS with unauthorized modifications or changes both the customer and manufacturer should be notified in writing.

SAFETY NEVER TRAVEL WITH THE BODY OFF THE FRAME Make sure the body is resting on the frame prior to moving the rigid dump truck.

If the raised body hits against an overhead obstacle, both the rigid dump truck and the overhead obstacle will be damaged, and personal injury may result as well. This includes overhead wires, cables and power lines.

Traveling with a raised body places greater stress to the body pivot pins, hydraulic cylinders and the frame.

Never “jump dump” by bouncing the rear wheels against a stop rail or by jerking the body control lever.

EL20375

EL20376

S-14

SAFETY OPERATING THE RIGID DUMP TRUCK NEAR OVERHEAD WIRES OR CABLES Before operating the rigid dump truck, check with employer/supervisor to find out if there are any overhead cables or wires on the work site.

The rigid dump truck operator must be given clear information about this. Make sure that all relevant and practical measures to help detect such lines are taken.

Local authorities and/or communication and power companies should be contacted for guidance and advice.

Overhead wires and cables must be protected against damage in a suitable way. The electricity should be turned off when practical.

OPERATING THE RIGID DUMP TRUCK NEAR HIGH VOLTAGE, OVERHEAD POWER LINES A power line is a single conductor suspended on or from poles or other supports as well as accessories such as insulators, hooks, and bars.

Serious injury or death can result if the rigid dump truck is not kept a safe distance from electric lines.

When operating near an electric line, NEVER move any part of the rigid dump truck or load closer than 3 m (10 ft.) plus twice the line insulator length.

Never operate the rigid dump truck with the dump body in the raised position.

Check and comply with any local regulations that may apply.

If the rigid dump truck comes into contact with a high voltage line, the operator must remain in the operator’s seat and not leave the cab; if the line is live and the operator tries to reach the ground his or her life is in danger. Call for help by signaling in some way, sounding the horn or mobile telephone, so that the power can be turned off.

Wet ground will expand the area that could cause any person on it to be affected by electric shock.

Keep all bystanders or co-workers away from the site.

If the rigid dump truck is used in potentially dangerous environments, e.g. explosive atmosphere, areas with dust including asbestos, special safety regulations must be followed and the rigid dump truck shall be equipped for such operations.
