ALWAYS wear the seat belt provided to prevent
being throwned from the machine. If you are in an
overturn:
- DO NOT jump!
- Hold on tight and stay with the machine!
- Lean away from the fall!
 ALWAYS keep hands, feet and arms inside of the
operator’s station when operating the machine!
 ALWAYS wear appropriate personal protective
equipment for the job and working conditions.
Hard hats, goggles, protective shoes, gloves,
reflector-type vests, respirators and ear protection
are exampes of types of equipment that may be
required. DO NOT wear loose fitting clothing,
long hair, jewelry or loose personal items while
operating or servicing the machine.
 ALWAYS be aware of and avoid pinch point areas
on the machine such as wheels-to-frame, cylin-
ders-to-frame, and boom attachment tool-to-frame.
 ALWAYS maintain safe clearance from electrical
powerlines and avoid contact with any electrically
charged conductor. Contact can result in electrocu-
tion. Contact proper local authorities for utility line
location BEFORE starting a job.
 ALWAYS check the job site for terrain hazards,
obstructions and people. Remove all objects which
do not belong in or on the machine and its equip-
ment.
 Walk around the machine and warn all personnel
who may be servicing the machine or who are in
the machine path prior to starting. DO NOT start
until all personnel are clearly away from the
machine.
 ALWAYS use the recommended hand holds and
steps with at least three points of support when get-
ting on and off the machine. Keep steps and plat-
form clean. Face the machine when climbing up
and down.
 NEVER attempt to by-pass the keyswitch to start
the engine. ONLY use the jump-starting procedure
detailed in the SERVICE & STORAGE chapter.
 NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic
fluid leaks. Use a piece of paper or cardboard.
Escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible and
can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. If
any fluid is injected into your skin, see a doctor at
once. Injected fluid MUST be surgically removed
by a doctor familiar with this type of injury or gan-
grene may result.
 ALWAYS wear safety glasses with side shields
when striking metal against metal. In addition, it is
also recommended that a softer (non-chipable)
material be used to cushion the blow. Failure to
heed could lead to serious injury to the eyes or
other parts of the body.
 DO NOT raise or drop a loaded fork or bucket sud-
denly. Abrupt movements under load can cause
serious instability.
 DO NOT exceed the machine’s rated operating
capacity for the type of attachment tool being used.
 DO NOT allow minors or any unqualified person-
nel to operate or be near the machine unless prop-
erly supervised.
 DO NOT start the engine or operate any controls
unless properly seated in the operator’s seat!
