GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS continued

Machines should be completely cleaned of debris at least daily, particularly around the engine exhaust components. Hydraulic oil leaks, excess grease, fuel and oil accumulation (including spillage) should be eliminated immediately. Machine should be washed completely at every major service.

Keep a first aid kit in an easily accessible location on the vehicle at all times. Do not carry passengers either in the cab or anywhere else on the machine. The vehicle seating accommodation is for one operator only. Do not allow anyone to operate the machine who may not be physically fit or who may be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The machine should be inspected daily for signs of fluid leaks, damage, unusual wear, or faulty operation. Repair or replace malfunctioning parts and systems immediately. Do not operate the machine with any defective or inoperable components. Do not operate the machine with any of the exhaust system, safety covers, or other devices removed. Do not operate the machine with the cab retaining pins removed. Always install retaining pins and fasten front guards to cab roof after lowering the cab. When operating the machine, ensure there is adequate clearance on both sides and above the machine or any of its attachments. Additional clearance may be necessary where the ground is uneven. Extreme caution should be exercised when approaching any area where overhanging electrical powerlines are present. Serious injury or death by electrocution can result if the machine or any of its attachments are not kept a safe distance from these lines. Maintain a distance of 10 ft. (3m) between any part of the machine or boom and any power line carrying up to 50,000 volts or less. Powerlines carrying up to 50,000 volts require a safety distance of 10 ft. (3m) increase this distance by 1/2 inch (10mm) for each additional 1,000 volts above the 50,000 volt level. If State/ Provincial, local or job site regulations require even greater safety distances than stated above, adhere strictly to these regulations for your own protection. If the machine must be transported, make sure that it is adequately secured to the transporting vehicle. Even though the brakes are fully engaged, block the wheels to prevent movement during transport. Install articulation lock pin when ever the machine is to be transported. Comply with instructions in this manual and also your company’s regulations for the operation of this machine. Read, understand and follow all general safety precautions specified by grapple head manufacturer.
