Safety Precautions

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The following safety precautions are not intended to be exhaustive. Safe work practices should be used when servicing or operating heavy machinery.

ALWAYS isolate the machine/implement before working on any RAS attachment.

ALWAYS follow the site tagging and isolation procedures.

ALWAYS follow site transport rules.

ALWAYS relieve the attachment quick connect line pressure via the button valve on the dash panel before disconnecting from the attachment.

ALWAYS disconnect the hydraulic lines to the RAS lock cylinder once the attachment is in place to ensure that the attachment is not accidentally released. The lock cylinder hydraulic lines can either be connected to the hydraulic system of the attachment or to the dummy blocks located on the lift arm assembly.

ALWAYS isolate the machine/implement before working on any RAS attachment.

ALWAYS remove the attachment from the RAS attach plate when raising the lift arm for maintenance.

ALWAYS install the lift arm lock when access under the lift arm assembly area is required. Remove any RAS attachment before raising and locking the lift arm assembly.

ALWAYS use extreme caution when tramming the machine with the attachment raised.

ALWAYS lower the load as close as possible to the ground when tramming.

NEVER walk underneath a raised lift arm with the bucket or other attachment connected.

NEVER load the attachment beyond the rated load carrying capacity.
