SAFETY
ADDITIONAL SAFETY REMINDERS
 User/operator safety practices, as established by
industry standards, are included in this Operator’s
Manual and intended to promote safe operation of
the machine. These guidelines do not, of course,
preclude the use of good judgment, care and com-
mon sense as may be indicated by the particular
jobsite work conditions.
 It is essential that operators be physically and men-
tally free of mind altering drugs and chemicals and
thoroughly trained in the safe operation of the
machine. Such training should be presented com-
pletely to all new operators and not condensed for
those claiming previous experience. Information
on operator training is available from several
sources including the manufacturer.
 Some illustrations used in this manual may show
doors, guards and shields open or removed for
illustration purposes ONLY. BE SURE that all
doors, guards and shields are in their proper oper-
ating positions BEFORE starting the engine.
 Any or all of the following elements: terrain,
engine speed, type of load being carried and
placed, and abrupt movement of any control lever
may affect the stability of the machine. IF YOU
ARE NOT CAREFUL WHILE OPERATING
THIS MACHINE, ANY OF THE ABOVE FAC-
TORS COULD CAUSE THE MACHINE TO
TIP AND THROW YOU OUT OF THE
OPERATOR’S STATION, WHICH MAY
CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR
DEATH!

WARNING
U.S. OSHA regulations require employers in
general industry and the construction, ship-
yard and cargo-handling industries (excepting
agricultural operations) to ensure that forklift
operators are competent, as demonstrated by
successful completion of a training course.
The training course must consist of a combi-
nation of formal instruction and practical
training, including both forklift-related and
workplace-related topics, and evaluation of
the operator’s performance in the workplace.
All operator training and evaluation is to be
conducted by persons who have the knowl-
edge, training and experience to train and
evaluate operators.
WARNING
ALWAYS maintain a safe distance from elec-
tric power lines and avoid contact with any
electrically charged conductor or gas line. It is
not necessary to make direct contact with a
power line for power to ground through the
structure of the machine. Keep the boom at
least 10 ft. (3 m) from all power lines.
Accidental contact or rupture can result in
electrocution or an explosion. Contact the
North American One Call Referral System at
(888) 258-0808 for the local “Digger’s Hotline”
number or proper local authorities for utility
line locations BEFORE starting to dig!
