Tigercat 1055 Forwarder Safety

OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Shut off engine when refuelling - DO NOT refuel the engine while smoking or near open flame or sparks. Check that no other personnel have moved into a hazardous area before starting the machine. Sound the machine horn before starting the machine.

The operator's seat is equipped with a lap belt. Use this restraint system at all times when operating the machine.

Start the engine by following the instructions in this manual. Refer to OPERATING MACHINE in SECTION 2 of the OPERATOR'S MANUAL. Before moving the machine to the worksite, check to ensure that all doors, panels, and access covers are installed properly and secured. Forwarder operations should only be performed from the operator’s seat. Secure loose items in the cab. Prior to commencing work, check all equipment controls to ensure that the machine responds correctly. Make sure that all safety screens and guards are installed and properly secured. Do not open an escape hatch or the cab doors to increase ventilation when operating the machine.

Keep the cab doors closed when driving or steering the machine to prevent accidental entry of branches and debris into the cab. Keep the cab doors closed and use seat belt when driving or steering the machine to prevent being thrown from the operator's cab.

Never use the emergency brake to slow down or stop the machine except in an emergency. Keep the brakes properly adjusted at all times. Always place the crane in the park position, or rest it on the ground when operation is stopped, regardless if the engine is running or shut off. Always rest the snow blade on the ground when operation is stopped, regardless if the engine is running or shut off. Never work alone. Regularly inform other crew members of your intentions, location and length of time to perform duties. Park machine at least 50 feet (15 meters) away from other equipment and in a cleared area. In the event of a fire, this distance will minimize the chance of the fire spreading to other equipment.
