KNOW YOUR MACHINE
The following is a list of ten important safety precautions and warnings you should read through and understand
before operating or servicing your machine.
1. Don't assume that because you know the control functions of other similar machinery, that you can run and/
or service the Barko Loader. All machines differ in some ways, and these differences must be noted and
acknowledged. Read this manual thoroughly and understand all safety, operating, and servicing procedures
before using the loader.
2. Know how to put your machine in a zero energy state for purposes of inspection, maintenance, or repair.
3. Clear operating area of all obstacles and personnel before operating loader.
4. Never approach power lines with any part of the machine or load! Current in a high voltage power line may arc
some distance to jump from the wire to a nearby "ground". KEEP WELL CLEAR!
5. Allow only the operator on the machine. Keep riders off. Riders on machine are subject to injury such as being
struck by foreign objects and being thrown off the machine. Riders also obstruct the operator's view, resulting in
the machine being operated in an unsafe manner.
6. Never use a boom or attachment for a work platform or personnel carrier. Serious injury or death may result.
7. When machine is not operating or when leaving cab, boom and attachment must be lowered to the ground.
Failure to do so may allow boom or attachment to move, causing property damage, injury, or death.
8. Do not tamper with any hydraulic line when it is pressurized. Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the
skin, causing serious injury. Relieve pressure before unhooking hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections
before applying pressure. Keep hands and body away from pinholes and nozzles which eject fluids under high
pressure. Use a piece of cardboard to search for leaks.
If any fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this
type of injury or gangrene may result.
9. Under no circumstances should any modifications be made to Barko machinery without factory authorization. Any
modifications may void the warranty. This machine was designed to do a specific job and alterations could result
in property damage, injury or death.
10. Replace any safety decals that are faded, torn, missing, illegible, or otherwise damaged. See your machine's
Decals section for decal kits applicable to your machine and for locations of all decals.
