PRECAUTIONS FOR LIGHTNING
•
The machine is vulnerable to lightning strikes.
•
In the event of an electrical storm, immediately stop
operation, and lower the bucket to the ground.
Evacuate to a safe place far away from the machine.
•
After the electrical storm has passed, check all of the
machine safety devices for any failure. If any failed
safety devices are found, operate the machine only
after repairing them.
OBJECT HANDLING
•
If a lifted load should fall, any person nearby may be
struck by the falling load or may be crushed underneath
it, resulting in serious injury or death.
•
When using the machine for craning operations, be
sure to comply with all local regulations.
•
Do not use damaged chains or frayed cables, sables,
slings, or ropes.
•
Before craning, position the upperstructure with the
travel motors at the rear.
•
Move the load slowly and carefully. Never move it
suddenly.
•
Keep all persons well away from the load.
•
Never move a load over a person's head.
•
Do not allow anyone to approach the load until it is
safely and securely situated on supporting blocks or
on the ground.
•
Never attach a sling or chain to the bucket teeth. They
may come off, causing the load to fall.
PROTECT AGAINST FLYING DEBRIS
•
If flying debris such as soil, rock fragments or metal
pieces hit eyes or any other part of the body, serious
injury may result.
•
Guard against such injuries when working in a job site
where possibility of flying pieces of metal or debris
exist, or when removing or installing pins using a
hammer; wear goggles or safety glasses.
•
Keep bystanders away from the working area before
striking any object.
