Safety Precautions - BOXER BHM195 Series Manual

1.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before starting the engine of your tractor, make sure all operation controls are in park lock or neutral position. Operate
controls only when seated in the operator's seat. Equip your tractor with a ROPS cap or frame for your protection. See your
tractor operator's manual for correct usage.
A frequent cause of personal injury or death is people falling off and being run over. Do not permit others to ride on your
tractor. Only one person, the operator, should be on the machine when it is in operation. Before leaving the tractor, stop
the engine, put all controls in neutral, engine the parking brake and remove the
key from the ignition. Operate the Backhoe smoothly when lowering or lifting loads. Stay off slopes too steep for sale
operation. Use low range gear before you start up or down a hill with a heavy load. Avoid "free wheeling". Travel speed
should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times. Where
possible, avoid operation near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes, and on rough,
slick or muddy surface
1.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(CONT.)
Never use your hand to check for suspected fuel or oil leaks under pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or wood for this
purpose. Escaping hydraulic oil or diesel leaking under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause
infection or other injuries. If this happens seek medical attention immediately.
To prevent personal injury, relieve all pressure before disconnecting fluid lines.
Before operating hydraulic controls, make sure all hydraulic connections are tight and components are in good condition.
Contact with overhead power lines can cause severe electrical burn or electrocution. Make sure there is enough clearance
between raised equipment and overhead power lines. Add water to rear tires or fit rear wheel weights for increased
stability.
