Before Operating Equipment
Clear all personnel from the equipment and from the area.
Check for obvious signs of damage, lose bolts, lose equipment, and foreign objects or debris on and around the equipment.
Visibility Information
Before you start the machine, perform a walk-around inspection in order to ensure that there are no hazards around the
machine.
While the machine is in operation, constantly survey the area around the machine in order to identify potential hazards as
hazards become visible around the machine.
Your machine may be equipped with visual aids. Some examples of visual aids are Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and
mirrors. Before operating the machine, ensure that the visual aids are in proper working condition and that the visual aids are
clean. Adjust the visual aids using the procedures that are located in the carrier-vehicle's Operation and Maintenance
Manual.
This attachment extends significantly beyond the carrier increasing the overall length and/or width, be especially aware of
the additional length and/or width when turning and maneuvering the carrier vehicle. The installation of the Slewing Canopy
may restrict vision, and it may not be possible to provide direct visibility to all areas around the machine. Appropriate job
site organization is required in order to minimize hazards that are caused by restricted visibility. Job site organization is a
collection of rules and procedures that coordinates machines and people that work together in the same area. Examples of
job site organization include the following:
•
Safety instructions
•
Controlled patterns of machine movement and vehicle movement
•
Workers that direct traffic to move when it is safe
•
Restricted areas
•
Operator training
•
Warning symbols or warning signs on machines or on vehicles
•
A system of communication
•
Communication between workers and operators prior to approaching the machine
Operation
Machine Operating Temperature Range
When using the correct hydraulic oil weight, as specified by the carrier vehicle OEM, the Slewing Canopy configuration is
intended for use within an ambient temperature range -40°C (-40°F) to 50°C (122°F). Consult the carrier vehicle's Operation
and Maintenance Manual for additional information on special configurations.
Machine Operation
Follow the Operation instructions of the carrier-vehicle.
Report any needed repairs that were noted during operation.
Load Capacities
Maintain control of the machine. Do not overload the machine beyond the machine capacity. Ensure that the correct load
capacity indication film is referenced. The supported load must be within the capabilities of the machine to ensure that the
carrier vehicle does not become unstable. Additional counterweight added to the vehicle may be required to ensure the
carrier vehicle is stable.
