2. Safety precautions
Avoid injury from back-over and
SWING ACCIDENTS
To avoid back-over and swing accidents:
Always look around before you back up and swing the machine.
Be sure that everyone is in the clear. Keep travel alarm in work-
ing condition (if equipped).
Always be alert for bystanders moving into the work area. Use
horn or other signal to warm bystanders beforemoving ma-
chine.
A person could stand behind the machine, in a dead area, not
visible from rearview mirrors. Before backing up, make sure no-
body is standing in that area.
Use a signal person when backing up if you view is obstructed.
Always keep signal person in view.
Use hand signals when work conditions require signal person.
No excavator or backhoe motions shall be made unless signals
are clearly understood by both signalman and operator.
Learn the meaning of all ags, signs, and markings used on the
job and conrm who has the responsibility for signaling.
When operating in potential dangerous areas, or in areas with
low visibility, use a person for machine shifts.
Before starting machine shifting, warm people near the working
area by means of the horn.
Keep windows, mirrors, and lights clean and in good condition.
Dust, heavy rain, fog etc., can reduce visibility. As visibility de-
creases, reduce speed and use proper lighting.
WORK WITH CAUTION
Accidental severing of underground cables or gas lines may
cause an explosion and/or re, possibly resulting in serious in-
jury or death.
Before digging, check the location of cables, gas lines, and water
lines.
Keep the minimum distance required by law from cables, gas
lines, and water lines. If a ber optic cable should be accidentally
severed, do not look into the end. Doing so may result in serious
eye injury. Contact local authorities and/or the utility companies
directly (electric power, gas, telephone, water, sewers, telecom-
munications, etc.) to obtain information about underground
utility lines.
MOVE AND OPERATE MACHINE SAFELY
Bystanders are in danger of being run over.
Conrm the location of bystanders before moving, swinging, or
operating the machine.
Always keep the travel alarm in good working condition. (if
equipped). It warns people when the machine starts to move.
Use a signal person when moving, swinging, or operating the
machine in congested areas. Coordinate hand signals before
starting the machine.
