Hazardous chemicals
If you are exposed to or come in contact with hazardous chemicals you can be seriously injured. The fluids, lubricants,
paints, adhesives, coolant, etc. required for the function of your machine can be hazardous. They may be attractive
and harmful to domestic animals as well as humans.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) provide information about the chemical substances within a product, safe han-
dling and storage procedures, first aid measures and procedures to be taken in the event of a spill or accidental
release. MSDS are available from your dealer.
Before you service your machine check the MSDS for each lubricant, fluid, etc. used in this machine. This information
indicates the associated risks and will help you service the machine safely. Follow the information in the MSDS, on
manufacturer containers, as well as the information in this manual when servicing the machine.
Dispose of all fluids, filters, and containers in an environmentally safe manner according to local laws and regulations.
Check with local environmental and recycling centers or your dealer for correct disposal information.
Store fluids and filters in accordance with local laws and regulations. Use only appropriate containers for the storage
of chemicals or petrochemical substances.
Keep out of reach or children or other unauthorized persons.
Additional precautions are required for applied chemicals. Obtain complete information from the manufacturer or
distributor of the chemicals before using them.
Utility safety
When digging or using ground-engaging equipment, be aware of buried cables and other services. Contact your local
utilities or authorities, as appropriate to determine the locations of services.
Make sure the machine has sufficient clearance to pass in all directions. Pay special attention to overhead power
lines and hanging obstacles. High voltage lines may require significant clearance for safety. Contact local authorities
or utilities to obtain safe clearance distances from high voltage power lines.
Retract raised or extended components, if necessary. Remove or lower radio antennas or other accessories. Should
a contact between the machine and an electric power source occur, the following precautions must be taken:
• Stop the machine movement immediately.
• Apply the park brake, stop the engine, and remove the key.
• Check if you can safely leave the cab or your actual position without contact with electrical wires. If not, stay in your
position and call for help. If you can leave your position without touching lines, jump clear of the machine to make
sure you do not make contact with the ground and the machine at the same time.
• Do not permit anyone to touch the machine until power has been shut off to the power lines.
Electrical storm safety
Do not operate machine during an electrical storm.
If you are on the ground during an electrical storm, stay away from machinery and equipment. Seek shelter in a
permanent, protected structure.
If an electrical storm should strike during operation, remain in the cab. Do not leave the cab or operator's platform.
Do not make contact with the ground or objects outside the machine.
Mounting and dismounting
Mount and dismount the machine only at designated locations that have handholds, steps, or ladders.
Do not jump off the machine.
Make sure steps, ladders, and platforms remain clean and clear of debris and foreign substances. Injury may result
from slippery surfaces.
