Attachment
Never let anyone ride on any work attachment, such as bucket,
crusher, grapple, or clamshell (grab bucket). This creates a
falling and crushing hazard, and can result in death or serious
injury.
The clamshell, grapple, or magnet can swing in all directions.
Move work levers (joysticks) in a continuous motion. Failure to
move work levers (joysticks) in a continuous motion can cause
clamshell, grapple, or magnet to swing into cabin or into a
person in work area. This can result in death or serious injury.
•
When using a fork or grapple, do not attempt to pick up an
object with its tips. This could damage the machine or
cause personal injury, if picked-up object slips off
attachment.
•
Do not use impact force of work equipment for demolition
work. This could damage work equipment, cause broken
materials to fly off or tipping. This could result in death or
serious injury.
•
Do not use work equipment or swing mechanism to pull
load in any direction. This could cause the work equipment
to move suddenly if the load releases and can result in
death or serious injury.
Equipment Lowering with Engine Stopped
Before lowering any equipment with the engine stopped, clear
the area around the equipment of all personnel and bystanders.
The procedure to use will vary with the type of equipment to be
lowered. Keep in mind most systems use a high-pressure fluid
or air to raise or lower equipment. The procedure can cause
high-pressure air, or hydraulic pressure, or some other media to
be released to lower the equipment.
