OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS continued
CAUTION Do not open cab doors or window screens when machine is on a slope. The doors and screens are heavy and could swing out with considerable force.
WARNING
Before moving the machine, park the attachment, raise dozer blade off the ground and keep it high enough to clear obstacles such as stumps. Check for correct tire air pressure. If the pressure is too low it will result in swaying. If the pressure is too high it will result in bouncing. Refer to also to TIRE PRESSURES in SECTION 3 of THIS MANUAL.
Never operate the attachment over the heads of bystanders. When reeling in winch cable, make sure all personnel are far enough away in case of rolling logs or whipping cables.
If the machine is to travel on public roads, use accessory lights (when installed) and other caution devices to alert operators of other vehicles of your presence. Ensure your machine meets all regulatory requirements.
Use only prearranged and approved signalling practices. Obey flagger's signal and signs Operate the machine only from a seated position in the operator’s seat.
When transporting the machine, ensure that enough clearance is available on both sides and above the machine or any of its attachments to avoid contact with power or telephone lines, bridge structures, etc.
Do not carry passengers either in the cab or anywhere else on the machine. If vision is limited by dust, smoke, fog or snow, stop the machine until visibility is restored.
Before transporting the machine check to ensure that all doors, panels and access covers are installed properly and secured.
Do not work below or behind a machine parked on a grade.
Read, understand and follow all general safety precautions specified by winch manufacturer and in this manual.
When working on slopes, travel straight up or down the slope to prevent roll-over. NEVER travel across a STEEP slope or side hill: •
When operating the winch do not work with a damaged cable. Broken wire or strands, or a decrease in the diameter of a cable are warning signs of a damaged cable. Do not anchor a double or two part line to the winch.
If you travel across a MODERATE slope, NEVER make an uphill turn as this could cause a tip-over situation.
Read, understand and follow all general safety precautions specified by the attachment manufacturer.
WARNING Always park the machine on level stable ground and lower the dozer blade to the ground before activating the crane. The lowered dozer blade will increase stability of the carrier when operating the crane. In addition, always read, understand and follow all operating and safety instructions in attachment manufacturer's instructions before operating the crane attachment.
