SAFETY SUMMARY
(continued...)
Use only hydraulic fluid in hydraulic oil reservoir.
Use
only diesel fuel in fuel reservoir. Other fluids will cause
machine damage.
Use caution when checking items beyond your reach.
Use an approved safety ladder.
Do not exceed 15 PSI nozzle pressure when drying
parts with compressed air.
Do not direct compressed
air against human skin. Serious injury could result.
CALIFORNIA Proposition 65 Warning
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, and other reproductive harm.
On machines equipped with an accumulator, release
all pressure before working on the system.
After
service work is done, pre-pressurize the accumulator(s) to
the proper specification.
Transparent material such as safety glass must
be replaced when it is cracked or broken, or
when vision is obscured due to scratches.
Remove or secure all personal or maintenance items
such as lunch buckets, chains, shovels, tools, etc.,
before moving or operating machine.
Older air conditioning equipment may contain R-12, a
substance which harms public health and
environment by destroying ozone in the upper
atmosphere.
Ÿ
To remove R-12 from the air conditioning system, use
service equipment certified to meet the requirements of
S.A.E. J2209 or J1990.
SAFE OPERATION ON SLOPED TERRAIN
When you work on slopes there are several important points to consider:
Ÿ
Always use a seat belt when provided.
Ÿ
Speed of travel or working tools – higher speeds or sudden starts and stops can tend to make the machine less stable
Ÿ
Terrain – soft ground, slopes, uneven surfaces (stumps, fallen trees and slash, rocks, valleys/rises, drop-offs or ledges,
overhangs), changing soil types, moisture, ice and snow affect the machine stability. Irregular terrain must be traveled at
slower speeds.
Ÿ
Direction of travel - Avoid operating the machine across the slope. When possible travel up or down slopes. Place the
heaviest end of the machine uphill and keep the load low to the ground. Turning uphill with an articulated machine can
increase the chance of tip-over.
Ÿ
Loads and shifting loads – Do not overload. Keep the load low and close to the machine. Contact with overhead wires,
trees, fallen trees or the ground can cause the load to shift unexpectedly and reduce stability.
Ÿ
Machine configuration – Will affect the weight distribution, the stability, the operating performance, and the machine control on
slopes.
Ÿ
Visibility – irregular, snow-covered or slash-covered terrain can reduce visibility in the path of the tracks or wheels and to the
surrounding area, the load, other vehicles, obstacles, and people.
Ÿ
Condition of the machine – Machine control and performance when operating on slopes may require special machine
maintenance or more frequent intervals. Fluid levels, track tension or tire inflation pressure can affect machine control on
slopes.
Ÿ
Do not operate a machine on a slope without proper training. Learn the stability limits of the machine by first working on
gentle slopes. Gain experience and improve skills over time by gradually increasing the angle of slopes on which you are
working. As operating conditions change make the appropriate decisions and adjustments to maintain safe machine
operation.
