AVOID INJURY FROM BACK-OVER AND
SWING ACCIDENTS
• If any person is present near the machine when
backing or swinging the upperstructure, the machine
may hit or run over that person, resulting in serious
injury or death.
• To avoid back-over and swing accidents:
- Always look around BEFORE YOU BACK UP
AND SWING THE MACHINE. BE SURE THAT
ALL BYSTANDERS ARE CLEAR.
- Keep the travel alarm in working condition (if
equipped).
- ALWAYS BE ALERT FOR BYSTANDERS
MOVING INTO THE WORK AREA. USE THE
HORN OR OTHER SIGNAL TO WARN
BYSTANDERS BEFORE MOVING MACHINE.
- A person could stand behind the machine, in a
dead area, not visible from rearview mirrors.
Before backing up, make sure nobody is standing
in that area.
- USE A SIGNAL PERSON WHEN BACKING UP
IF YOUR VIEW IS OBSTRUCTED. ALWAYS
KEEP THE SIGNAL PERSON IN VIEW.
- Use hand signals, which conform to your local
regulations, when work conditions require a 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 flags, signs, and markings
used on the job and confirm 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, warn 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 decreases, reduce speed and use
proper lighting.
- Read and understand all operating instructions in
this Operator’s manual.
