read
carefully all the rules contained by this Manual;
•
read
and obey all safety related plates and instruc-
tions located
on
the machine.
-
Do
not allow unauthorised personnel to perform any
maintenance operation. Do not perform maintenance
operation without prior authorisation. Follow all recom-
mended maintenance and service procedures.
- Keep operator's compartment free of all loose objects
that are not properly secured.
-

ed
for the job. Examples: hard hat, heavy gloves, ear
protection, safety glasses or goggles, reflector vests,
respirator. Consult your employer for specific safety
equipment requirements.
-
Do
not use controls or hoses as hand holds when
climbing
on
or off machine. Hoses and controls are
movable and do not provide a solid support. Also,
controls may
be
inadvertently moved causing acciden-
tal machine or equipment movement.
-
Do
not jump
on
or off the machine. Keep two hands and
one foot, or two feet and one hand
in
contact with step
grab rails and handles at all times.

Do
not perform any service operation
on
the machine
with a person seated
in
the operator's compartment,
unless he
is
an authorised operator co-operating
in
the
operation to
be
performed.
- Keep operator's compartment, stepping points, grab-
rails and handles clear of foreign objects, oil, grease,
mud or snow accumulation to minimise the danger of
slipping or stumbling. Clean mud or grease from shoes
before attempting to mount or operate the machine.
- Keep shoes free of mud or grease before climbing or
driving the machine.
IV
- Never attempt to operate the machine or its tools from
any position other than seated
in
the operator's seat.
- When maintenance operations require moving hydrau-
lically operated attachments by means of machine's
hydraulic system remember that all manoeuvres must
be
made only when seated
in
the operator's seat. Before
starting machine or moving attachment or tools, set
brakes , sound horn and call for
an
all clear. Raise
attachment slowly.
- Always block booms or parts of the machine which must
be
raised to perform interventions under them with
external devices. Do not allow persons to move into the
vicinities nor standing under equipment not being
blocked. Unless you are totally sure about your safety,
avoid staying under raised equipment, even
in
case it
is
blocked.
-
Do
not place the body, limbs or fingers into sharp articu-
lation uncontrolled openings of the machine and without
proper protections, unless they are blocked
in
a safe
manner.
- Never perform interventions with engine running, ex-
cept as called for
in
a Manual.
Do
not wear loose clothing
or jewellery near moving parts.
- When servicing or maintenance require access to areas
that cannot
be
reached from the ground, use a ladder or
step platform that meet local and national regulations, to
reach the service point.
If
such ladder or platform are not
available, use the machine hand holds and steps as
provided. Perform all service or maintenance carefully.
- Shop and/or field service platforms or ladders must
be
constructed and maintained
in
accordance with local
and national regulations.
- Disconnect batteries and tag all controls according to
current regulations to warn that work

fill fuel tanks, batteries, nor use starting fluid near lighted
smoking materials or open flames.
- Brakes are inoperative when manually released for
servicing. Provisions must be made to maintain control
of the machine by blocking or other means.
- The fuel filling nose must
be
kept constantly inside the
filling neck. Keep this contact from the beginning to the
end of the fuelling operation to avoid the possibility that
sparks due to static electricity are generated.
- Use only designated towing or attaching points. Use
care
in
making attachments. Make sure pins and/or locks
are secure before pulling. Stay clear of drawbars, cables
or chains under load.
