SP002667Wheel Loader Safety
Page 20
Know appropriate work site hand signals and personnel that are
authorized to give hand signals. Follow hand signals from only
one person.
If you need to operate on a street, protect pedestrians and cars
by designating a person for work site traffic duty or by erecting
fences and posting "No Entry" signs around work site.
Erect barricades or fences, post "No Entry" signs, and take other
steps to prevent people from coming close to or entering work
site. If people come too close to a moving machine, they may be
struck or caught by machine, and this can result in death or
serious injury.
Check Tire Pressure and Condition
Maintain tire pressure but do not overinflate. Inspect tires and
wheels daily. When inflating tires, follow procedures in
Maintenance Section, which include using an extension to avoid
standing in front of or over a tire. Do not change a tire unless you
understand proper tire maintenance procedures and are using
proper equipment.
Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Mounting/Dismounting
Before getting on or off machine, if there is any oil, grease, or
mud on handrails or steps, wipe it off immediately. Always keep
these parts clean. Repair any damage and tighten any loose
bolts.
Never jump on or off machine. In particular, never get on or off a
moving machine. These actions can result in death or serious
injury.
When getting on or off machine, always face machine. Maintain
three-point contact (both feet and one hand or one foot and both
hands) with handrails and steps to ensure that you support
yourself securely.
Never hold onto any control levers when getting on or off
machine.
Securely latch door. If you grip handrail inside door when
moving on platform outside of door, and door latch is not
securely engaged, door may move and cause you to fall
resulting in death or serious injury.
Use points marked by arrows in diagram when getting on or off
machine.
Do not carry tools or supplies when you mount or dismount the
machine.
