Precautions When Dumping
Do not dump in any of the following manners.
The center of balance will shift and the
machine could tip over.
� Dumping on a slope or bumpy location.
� Dumping while swinging the dump body.
� Dumping while traveling.
Keep a safe distance from
electrical power lines
S2A016
Never approach power lines with any part of
the machine and its load unless all local and
national required safety precautions have
been taken. Electrocution and death can
result from arcing, touching or even being
close to a machine that is in contact with or
near an electrical source.
� Maintain the maximum possible distance
from power lines and never violate the
minimum clearance.
� Always contact the nearest electric
utility and determine jointly what specific
precautions must be taken to insure
safety.
� Consider all lines to be power lines and
treat all power lines as energized even
though it is known or believed that the
power is shut off and the line is visibly
grounded.
� Use a signal person to observe the
approach of any part of the machine or
load to the power line.
� Caution all ground personnel to stand
clear of the machine and the load at all
times.
� If the machine should come in contact
with a live electrical source, do not leave
the operator's seat. Do not allow anyone
to approach or touch the machine.
