JOB SITE OPERATION
INVESTIGATE JOB SITE BEFOREHAND
Clear all persons from area of operation and
machine movement. Make sure worksite footing has
sufficient strength to firmly support the machine.
When digging deeply, avoid hitting bottom of boom
or bucket cylinder hoses against the ground. Use
the bucket only for digging. To avoid accidents, do
not use it as a jack hammer or wrecking ball.
DIG WITH CAUTION
Accidental severing of underground cables or gas
lines may cause an explosion and/or fire, possibly
resulting in serious injury 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, or water
lines. If a fiber optic cable should be accidentally
severed, do not look into the end, to avoid eyes
injury. If in doubt, contact local authorities and/or the
distributing companies (Electric Power, Gas, Tele-
phone, Water, Telecommunications, etc.). Ask for
information about underground utility lines.
