Operations on Slopes
When working on slopes. there is danger that the machine may
lose its balance and turn over, when swinging, or when work
equipment is operated. Always carry out these operations
carefully.
Do not swing the work equipment from the uphill side to the
downhill side when the bucket is loaded. This operation is
dangerous.
If the machine has to be used on a slope, pile the soil to make a
platform that will keep the machine as horizontal as possible.
In addition, lower the bucket as far as possible, keep it pulled
into the front, and keep the swing speed as low as possible.
Parking Machine
Avoid making sudden stops, or parking the machine wherever it
happens to be at the end of the work day. Plan ahead so that the
excavator will be on firm, level ground away from traffic and
away from high walls, cliff edges and any area of potential water
accumulation or runoff. If parking on inclines is unavoidable,
block the crawler tracks to prevent movement. Lower the bucket
or other working attachment completely to the ground, or to an
overnight support saddle. There should be no possibility of
unintended or accidental movement.
When parking on public roads, provide fences, signs, flags, or
lights, and put up any other necessary signs to ensure that
passing traffic can see the machine clearly, and park the
machine so that the machine, flags, and fences do not obstruct
traffic.
After the front attachment has been lowered to an overnight
storage position and all switches and operating controls are in
the "OFF" position, the safety lock lever must be set to the
"LOCKED" position. This will disable all pilot circuit control
functions.
Always close the door of the operator's compartment.
Never Let Anyone Ride on Attachment
Never let anyone ride on any work attachment, such as the
bucket, crusher, grapple, or clamshell (grab bucket). There is a
danger of the person falling and suffering serious injury.
