Equipment Lowering with Engine Stopped
Before lowering any equipment with the engine stopped, clear
the area around the equipment of all personnel and bystanders.
The procedure to use will vary with the type of equipment to be
lowered. Keep in mind most systems use a high-pressure fluid
or air to raise or lower equipment. The procedure will cause
high-pressure air, or hydraulic pressure, or some other media to
be released in order to lower the equipment.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and follow the
procedures in the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Preventing Risk of Injuries or Death From
Boom and Bucket
1. While operating a machine, do not let people enter the
work area. A sudden collapse of front structure caused
from a hydraulic hose failure can result in death or serious
injury.
2. When stopping or parking machine, lower front structure to
ground. If this is not done, sudden collapse of front
structure caused from a hydraulic hose failure can result in
death or serious injury.
