KEEP PERSON CLEAR FROM WORKING
AREA
A person may be hit severely by the swinging front at-
tachment or counterweight and/or may be crushed
against an other object, resulting in serious injury or
death.
Keep all persons clear from the area of operation and
machine movement.
Before operating the machine, set up barriers to the
sides and rear area of the bucket swing radius to pre-
vent anyone from entering the work area.

NEVER POSITION BUCKET OVER ANYONE

Never lift, move, or swing bucket above anyone or a
truck cab.
Serious injury or machine damage may result due to
bucket load spill or due to collision with the bucket.

AVOID UNDERCUTTING

In order to retreat from the edge of an excavation if the
footing should collapse, always position the undercar-
riage perpendicular to the edge of the excavation with
the travel motors at the rear.
If the footing starts to collapse and if retreat is not
possible, do not panic. Often, the machine can be
secured by lowering the front attachment, in such
cases.
