Work Site Rules
• If visibility cannot be sufficiently assured, use a
flagman. The operator should pay careful attention to
signals and follow instructions from flagman.
• Signals should only be given by one flagman.
• When working in dark places, turn "ON" work lights
and front lights on the machine. Set up additional
lighting in area.
• Stop operations if there is poor visibility, such as fog,
snow, rain, or sandstorms.
• Check mirrors and rear view camera (if equipped) on
machine before starting operations. Clean off any dirt
and adjust view for good visibility.
When operating or traveling during poor visibility conditions,
follow the preceding work site rules.
It may not be possible to adjust the visual aids to see all the way
around the machine. Therefore, additional precautions such as
flagman, barricades, etc., must be taken to keep other personnel
and bystanders out of the work area.
Boost Starting or Charging Engine
Batteries
Follow these instructions to prevent an explosion or fire when
connecting booster cables to batteries:
• Turn "OFF" all electric equipment before connecting
leads to battery. This includes electric switches on
battery charger or battery booster equipment.
• When boost starting from another machine or vehicle
do not allow two machines to touch. Wear safety
goggles and gloves while battery connections are
made.
• 24 volt battery units consisting of two series
connected 12 volt batteries have a cable connecting
one positive (+) terminal on one of the 12 volt
batteries to a negative (-) terminal on the other
battery. Booster or charger cable connections must
be made between the nonseries connected positive
(+) terminals and between the negative (-) terminal of
the booster battery and metal frame of the machine
being boosted or charged. The final booster cable
connection, at metal frame of the machine being
charged or boost started, must be as far away from
the batteries as possible. Refer to Operation and
Maintenance Manual for proper procedure.
• Connect positive (+) cable first when installing cables
and disconnect negative (-) cable first when removing
them.
