Ü ALWAYS wear the seat belt provided to prevent
being thrown 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!
Ü ALWAYS keep hands, feet and arms inside of the
operator’s station when operating the machine!
Ü DO NOT depend on the backup alarm to clear
bystanders out of the path of the machine.
ALWAYS look in the direction of travel. Look to
the rear before backing.
Ü ALWAYS use the recommended handholds 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.
Ü DO NOT raise or drop a loaded fork or bucket sud-
denly. Abrupt movements under load can cause
serious instability.
Ü Study the load chart carefully. It shows maximum
capacity to be lifted and placed at specific outward
and upward distances. ALWAYS be aware of load
weights prior to attempting lift and placement with
this machine.
Ü DO NOT exceed the machine’s rated operating
capacity for the type of attachment tool being used.
Ü DO NOT allow minors or any unqualified person-
nel to operate or be near the machine unless prop-
erly supervised.
Ü DO NOT start the engine or operate any controls
unless properly seated in the operator’s seat!
Ü DO NOT run the engine in an enclosed area with-
out providing proper ventilation for the exhaust.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odor-
less and deadly gas. Internal combustion engines
deplete the oxygen supply within enclosed spaces
and may create a serious hazard unless the oxygen
is replaced. This includes the atmosphere within
the cab when equipped.
Ü DO NOT leave the operator’s station with the
boom and attachment tool raised. ALWAYS lower
the boom and attachment tool to the ground, shut
off the engine and engage the park brake before
leaving the operator’s station.
Ü DO NOT drive too close to an excavation or ditch.
BE SURE that the surrounding ground has ade-
quate strength to support the weight of the machine
and the load it is carrying.
Ü DO NOT turn quickly while traveling on a slope or
operate the machine beyond the grade and slope
limits noted in the Operation and Adjustments
chapter of the Operator’s Manual.
Ü NEVER allow any riders on this machine. This is
strictly a single-seat, NO-passenger machine.
Ü NEVER use as a lift for personnel unless the
machine is equipped with the Personnel Work
Platform (PWP) System.
Ü When road travel is required, know and use the
signaling devices on the machine. Provide an
escort and Slow-Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem
when required.
Ü If necessary to park on a slope, park across the
slope and block the tires.
Servicing Safety Reminders
Ü ALWAYS be aware of and avoid pinch point areas
on the machine, such as wheels-to-frame, cylin-
ders-to-frame, boom-attachment-tool-to-frame.
Ü NEVER attempt to by-pass the keyswitch to start
the engine. ONLY use the jump-starting procedure
detailed in the Service and Storage chapter.
Ü NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic
fluid leaks. Instead use a piece of paper or card-
board. Escaping fluid under pressure can be invis-
ible 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 gangrene may result.
