Working near powerlines
Digging may expose buried electric cables, and
some attachments may make it possible to reach
overhead powerlines with the loader, creating hazard
of electric shock and electrocution.
Plan work ahead and take necessary safety
precautions.
Stay away from electric cables - Electrocution
hazard
Electric shock hazard - Contact
with or working too close to electric
wires can result in lethal electric
shock. Keep the loader and any
attachment at a sufficient distance
from all electric cables, see table
below.
If electric cables are exposed during digging, or in
case of inadvertent contact or proximity with live
electric source:
Do not leave the loader until the electricity has
been disconnected by qualified technicians,
usually local electric company.
If absolutely necessary, jump out from the
loader, keeping feet next to each other, until at a
safe distance.
Warn others not to approach the loader until safe
to do so.
Fire prevention
Clean the loader to avoid build-up of flammable
debris, such as dust, leaves, hay, straw, etc.
There are many parts on the electric system that
operate at high temperatures in normal use. To
avoid fire, and to ensure that the cooling of
electric systems is ensured, keep the electric
parts clean. Overheating of electric parts can
shorten their service life.
Static electricity can produce sparks when
removing plastic covers.
Do not smoke while you work near the battery, or
do any maintenance work of the hydraulic
system.
Add hydraulic oil only at a well ventilated place.
Oil leaks can ignite on hot components. Repair
any damaged or leaking components before
using machine.
Know where fire extinguishing equipment is located
near your working site. At some areas a fire
extinguisher may be mandatory. Keep a
multi-purpose, approved type fire extinguisher
available near the place where you store the loader.
