MACHINE OPERATION HAZARDS
Absolutely avoid the following work situations:
•
Do not handle loads beyond the maximum
capacity of the machine
•
Do not raise or extend the boom if the machine is
not on a firm, level surface.
•
Do not operate the machine in strong wind. Do
not increase the surface area of the machine or
forked load exposed to the wind. Increasing the
area exposed to the wind will decrease machine
stability.
•
Use extreme caution and slow speeds when the
machine is driven across uneven or unstable
grounds, slippery surfaces or near trenches or
drop-offs.
•
Limit travel speed according to ground conditions,
slopes, presence of personnel or other factors
which may cause collision.
•
Do not place or attach overhanging loads to any
part of the machine.
