Prevent Unintended Machine Movement; Avoid Work Site Hazards - Worldwide Construction And Forestry Division 380GLC Operator's Manual

Prevent Unintended Machine Movement

Be careful not to accidentally actuate control levers when
coworkers are present. Pull pilot shutoff lever to locked
(UP) position during work interruptions. Pull pilot shutoff
lever to locked (UP) position and stop engine before
allowing anyone to approach machine.
Always lower work equipment to the ground and pull pilot
shutoff lever to locked (UP) position before standing up or
leaving the operator's seat. Stop engine before exiting.

Avoid Work Site Hazards

Avoid contact with gas lines, buried cables, and water
lines. Call utility line location services to identify all
underground utilities before digging.
Prepare work site properly. Avoid operating near
structures or objects that could fall onto the machine. Clear
away debris that could move unexpectedly if run over.
Avoid boom or arm contact with overhead obstacles
or overhead electrical lines. Never move any part of
machine or load closer than 3 m (10 ft) plus twice the line
insulator length to overhead wires.
Keep bystanders clear at all times. Keep bystanders
away from raised booms, attachments, and unsupported
loads. Avoid swinging or raising booms, attachments, or
loads over or near bystanders. Use barricades or a signal
person to keep vehicles and pedestrians away. Use a
signal person if moving machine in congested areas or
where visibility is restricted. Always keep signal person in
view. Coordinate hand signals before starting machine.
Operate only on solid footing with strength sufficient to
support machine. When working close to an excavation,
position travel motors away from the hole.
Reduce machine speed when operating with tool on or
near ground when obstacles may be hidden (e.g., during
snow removal or clearing mud, dirt, etc). At high speeds,
hitting obstacles (rocks, uneven concrete, or manholes)
can cause a sudden stop. Always wear seat belt.
