SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Be sure that the rear screen is securely fastened to the ROPS structure before operating the
winch. Operating without correctly installed screen could result in serious injuries. Operate the
winch from the driver’s seat only. Always engage the parking brake before winching, if the machine
is stopped. Use caution when installing or removing cable from the winch. Keep all persons clear of
a cable under tension. Never use a cable that is damaged. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injuries.
Never mix gasoline, gasohol and/or alcohol with diesel fuel. This practice creates an extreme fire
hazard and under certain conditions an explosion, which could result in personal injury or death.
Do not smoke when refueling or servicing the machine. A fire could result.
Never place gasoline or diesel fuel in open pan.
Never remove the fuel tank filler caps or refill the fuel tanks while the engine is running or hot or
when the machine is indoors. Fumes are dangerous, a spark or flame could result in a fire or
explosion.
Observe instruments and warning lights frequently. Report any defects or unusual noises in
machine during operation. Be alert to the location of other personnel. Do not operate if exposed
personnel enter the immediate work area. Warn all ground persons to leave the area of the
machine.
On machines equipped with a suction fan or a reversible fan in the suction position, periodically
check the engine exhaust system for leaks. Exhaust gases are dangerous to the operator.
Do not operate the machine in a condition of extreme fatigue or illness.
Be sure chains or cables and their anchor points are strong enough to handle the expected load.
Inspect carefully chains and cables for flaws before using them.
Always wear gloves when handling cables and chains. Avoid looping or knotting a cable or chain.
Do not pull with a kinked chain or cable as excessively high stress in bent area may cause chain or
cable failure. Cables or chains for towing or winching should be fastened to attachment points
designed to this purpose only.
Be sure the attachment pins are securely inserted immediately before pulling with the chain or
cable.
Stand clear of chains or cables under load.
Keep engine exhaust system and exhaust manifold clear of combustible material for your personal
protection.
Know the locations of underground cables, water mains, gas lines, etc. A ruptured gas line or cut
electrical cable could result in personal injury or death.
When leaving the machine unattended for any length of time, make sure the blade is completely
lowered, the engine is stopped, the parking brake is applied, and the electrical master switch is in
the “off” position and drive train neutral lock lever is in locked position. If the machine is equipped
with a cab make sure that the cab door is locked.
Before operating the machine read and know the Operator’s Manual and ALL SAFETY
GRAPHICS.
The roll-over protective structure (ROPS) provides the operator’s protection in the event of
machine rollover or upset. This structure is designed to bend during rollover to protect the operator
from sudden impact loads.
