Keep Riders Off Machine; Avoid Backover Accidents; Inspect And Maintain Rops - Worldwide Construction And Forestry Division 380GLC Operator's Manual

Keep Riders Off Machine

Always use seat belt.
Only allow operator on machine.
The instructional seat, if equipped, is used to
accommodate trainers, persons that need to observe
machine operation, and for coworkers to provide further
operational instructions.
Riders are subject to injury due to fall from machine, being
caught between machine parts, or being struck by foreign
objects. Riders may obstruct the operator's view or impair
the operator's ability to operate machine safely.

Avoid Backover Accidents

Before moving machine, be sure that all persons are
clear of machine path. Turn around and look directly for
best visibility. Use mirrors to assist in checking all around
machine. Keep windows and mirrors clean, adjusted, and
in good repair.
Be certain reverse warning alarm is working properly.
Use a signal person when backing if view is obstructed
or when in close quarters. Keep signal person in view at
all times. Use prearranged hand signals to communicate.
Do not rely on the rear camera and radar object detection
systems, if equipped, to determine if personnel are
behind the machine. The system has limitations due to
maintenance practices, environmental conditions, and
operating range.

Inspect and Maintain ROPS

A damaged rollover protective structure (ROPS) should
be replaced, not reused.
The protection offered by ROPS could be impaired if
ROPS is subjected to structural damage, is involved in
an overturn incident, or is in any way altered by welding,
bending, drilling, or cutting.
If ROPS was loosened or removed for any reason, inspect
it carefully before operating the machine again.
Safety—Operating Precautions
To maintain the ROPS:
•
Replace missing hardware using correct grade
hardware.
•
Check hardware torque.
•
Check isolation mounts for damage, looseness, or
wear; replace them if necessary.
•
Check ROPS for cracks or physical damage.
