• Never allow anyone under a raised lift arm. Lowering the lift arm or a falling load can
result in death or serious personal injury.
• Slow down the work cycle and use slower travel speeds in congested or populated
areas. Use commonly understood signals so other members of the work crew can warn
the operator to slow or halt work in a potentially hazardous situation.
• Do not use the machine in an environment where the hot muffler could present a fire
hazard, such as hay or straw storage facilities.
• Exposed hydraulic hoses could react with explosive force if struck by falling or over-
head items. NEVER allow hoses to be hit, bent or interfered with during operation.
Extra guards may be required. Replace any damaged hoses immediately.
• If the machine becomes damaged or malfunctions, stop the machine immediately and
lock and tag it. Repair the damage or malfunction before using the machine again.
• NEVER start the engine if there is any indication that maintenance or service work is
in progress, or if a warning tag is attached to the controls.
• Do not place limbs near moving parts. Severing of body parts can result.
• If unable to exit out the front of the cab, remove the rear window by pulling the emer-
gency rear window release triangle until the window seal is pulled out of the window
frame, then push the window out of the frame.
Applications with Load-Handling Devices
• Specific procedures are required, when using load-handling devices (e.g., slings,
chains, etc.) for transporting and placing loads. For example, assistance from other
people is needed when lifting and lowering pipes, culverts or containers:
• The machine may only be used with load-handling devices if the necessary safety
devices are in place and functional.
• The load must be secured to prevent it from moving, slipping or falling.
• Persons guiding the load must stay in visual contact with the operator.
• The operator must guide the load to the ground as soon as possible and avoid any
rotating or swinging movements.
• The machine may be moved with a raised load only if the path of the machine is
level.
• Persons attaching or securing loads may only approach the machine from the side,
after the operator has given permission. The operator may only give permission
after the machine and the attachment are stationary.
• Do NOT use any lifting attachments (slings, chains) that are damaged or of inade-
quate rated capacity.
