Safety Precautions
Prior to Start-Up
Never operate machinery while wearing jewelry or
loose clothing. These items may become
caught by or entangled in the machinery causing serious injury. Wear proper safety equipment as
required by your employer.
Never operate machinery while under the influence
of alcohol, narcotics or other mood altering
substances. Workers who operate machinery while under the influence are a hazard to themselves
and
others.
Perform a pre-operation “walk around” inspection of
the truck chassis in accordance with the
chassis manufacturer’s guidelines. Perform a “walk around” inspection of the refuse packer. Never
start or operate any equipment found to have malfunctions.
• Report any malfunctions immediately to the proper authorities.
• Prior to leaving any malfunctioning unit, the parking brakes must be set, the PTO system
disengaged, the engine turned off, the ignition key removed, and using a non-reusable fastening
device, place a sign on the steering wheel indicating the unit is inoperative. For more
information, see
Locking Out and Tagging Out the Vehicle
Proper servicing requires specialized tools and
procedures. Service must be performed by
authorized personnel only following procedures in the 2R-III™
Maintenance Manual
.
Walk completely around the vehicle to make sure all
persons and obstructions are clear before
starting
the unit.
The container handling system is a critical component of the unit. Use only the proper
replacement parts.
Inspect all hooks, chains and cables daily to ensure
serviceable condition. Replace damaged or
worn parts (see Chapter 5
Preventive Maintenance
).
Before operating the vehicle the driver must be thoroughly familiar with the employer’s safety
program concerning traffic rules, warning devices and hand signals.
Be sure to know where to get assistance in the event of an emergency.
Know your machine. Know the location and function of all controls, gauges, instruments and
protective devices.
Should the height of a refuse collection vehicle be altered by installing a container handling
system, be sure the overall height is rechecked and overall height plus 3
inches is noted on the
decals.
Danger!
Workers must adhere to the following safety precautions
at all times.
Failure to do so may
