WARNING: Always check work area to avoid accidents. The following are examples of dangerous work areas: slopes, overhangs, timber, demolitions, fire, high walls, drop offs, backfills, rough terrain, ditches, ridges, excavation, crowded parking lots, heavy traffic and closed areas. Use extreme care when in areas such as these. Be on the look out for edges, slides or falling objects. Beware of brush and undergrowth or other obstacles that conceal dangerous conditions. For night operation keep all the machine mounted lights on. Replace burned out lights immediately. Always shut-off engine when leaving operator’s seat. Before moving machine or attachments, be sure people in the area are clear of the unit. Walk completely around the machine before mounting and sound horn. Be sure exhaust system is free from leaks under the hood. (When operating inside a closed cab, always keep a vent to outside air open at all times) Avoid applying brakes continuously on long grades. Select the proper gear entering the grade. Keep engine exhaust manifolds clear of combustible trash. Shut engine off before cleaning it. Keep people clear of the attachments and tools while they are in a raised position to prevent injury.
