AVOID POWER LINES
Serious injury or death can result if the machine or
front attachments are not kept a safe distance from
electric lines.
•
When operating near an electric line, NEVER
move any part of the machine or load closer than
3 m plus twice the line insulator length.
•
Check and comply with any local regulations that
may apply.
•
Wet ground will expand the area that could cause
any person on it to be affected by electric shock.
Keep all bystanders or co-workers away from the
site.
PRECAUTIONS FOR LIGHTENING
The machine is vulnerable to lighting strikes.
•
In the event of an electrical storm, immediately
stop operation, and lower the bucket to the
ground. Evacuate to a safe place far away from
the machine.
•
After the electrical storm has passed, check all of
the machine safety devices for any failure. If any
failed safety devices are found, operate the ma-
chine only after repairing them.
OBJECT HANDLING
If a lifted load should fall, any person nearby may be
struck by the falling load or may be crushed under-
neath it, resulting in serious injury or death.
•
When using the machine for craning operations,
be sure to comply with all local regulations.
•
Do not use damaged chains or frayed cables,
sables, slings, or ropes.
•
Before craning, position the upperstructure with
the travel motors at the rear.
•
Move the load slowly and carefully. Never move it
suddenly.
•
Keep all persons well away from the load.
•
Never move a load over a person's head.
•
Do not allow anyone to approach the load until it
is safely and securely situated on supporting
blocks or on the ground.
•
Never attach a sling or chain to the bucket teeth.
They may come off, causing the load to fall.
