Do not drive the machine if visibility is obstructed.
Do not raise the boom unless the parking brake is set.
Do not operate in conditions without fenders to protect
debris from hitting the operator or accumulating on
the cab windows.
Do not operate the machine with a faulty back-up/

when the machine is in reverse.
Do not operate the machine in low light conditions.
Operators must comply with employer, job site
and governmental rules regarding use of personal
protective equipment.
Do not drive the machine directly up to anyone.
If a radio and/or mp3 player is equipped, keep the
volume low enough to hear surrounding environment
(i.e. traffic, alarms, people etc.).
Do not adjust the controls while driving or manoeuvring
a load.
Scan the area prior to operating the machine. Look
in the direction of travel. Use mirrors and the camera
to assist in checking all around the machine.
Keep windows and mirrors clean, adjusted and in
good repair.
Be aware of the machine/load swing area.
Do not rely on the camera system to determine if
personnel/objects are behind the machine. The
system has limitations due to maintenance practices,
environmental and lighting conditions and operating
range.
