ON-THE-TRUCK DECALS OVERVIEW
THIS DECAL WARNS OF THE HAZARDS THE MOVING
COMPACTION BLADES CREATE. THE SWEEP BLADE
CREATES A PINCH-POINT AS IT SWEEPS PAST HOPPER
LOADING SILL. WHEN THE BLADES ARE MOVING,
ALWAYS STAND CLEAR!
Always have the blades parked in their “home” position (and
not
moving) when you are loading garbage into the hopper
and when you are near the hopper sill.
Two of this decal are affixed to the sweep blade on the non-garbage
side.
THIS DECAL WARNS OF THE HAZARD CREATED BY
RAISING THE TAILGATE. THE TAILGATE MUST BE
RAISED ONCE OR TWICE EVERY DAY TO UNLOAD
YOUR PAYLOAD. THEREFORE THE RAISED TAILGATE
HAZARD IS PRESENT ONCE OR TWICE EVERY DAY.
Never stand underneath or walk across beneath the raised
tailgate…it could be lowered upon you. Even if it isn’t lowered
on you using the control levers, it could suddenly fall if a
hydraulic component should fail (such as a hose end blow-off).
Always “stand clear”, well away from the raised tailgate and
make sure everyone else does also.
Two of this decal is affixed to each side of the body, at the end of the
floor.
THIS DECAL WARNS OF THE
MANY
HAZARDOUS
SITUATIONS THAT WILL ARRISE IF PEOPLE
NOT
SPECIFICALLY TRAINED AND EXPERIENCED ATTEMPT
TO OPERATE THE LOADMASTER PACKER.
Do not allow untrained people to operate the packer. This
includes service/maintenance people, who must also be trained
in the safe
operation
of the packer before they can operate the
machine. Training will include: (a) reading and understanding
the operators manual, (b) reading and understanding all the
safety precautions, (c) being in compliance with all applicable
governmental regulations, (d) following all of your employer’s
work rules (including a detailed lockout/tagout procedure), (e)
having a experienced, knowledgeable person give you hands-
on training with the actual packer.
There are three of these decals. One on each side of the tailgate and
one on the cab’s instrument panel.
THIS DECAL WARNS OF THE DANGER OF CRAWLING
UNDERNEATH THE CHASSIS WITH THE DIESEL
RUNNING. DO A COMPLETE LOCKOUT/TAGOUT FIRST!
Do your shop’s detailed LOCKOUT/TAGOUT before going under
the chassis for any reason. See Table of Contents for a
skeleton LOCKOUT/TAGOUT procedure. There are multiple
hazards underneath…you will get entangled in the rotating
PTO shafting, you will be run over by the chassis, you could
get burned.
Two of these are affixed onto the chassis undersides, usually near the
cab (exact location depends on specific chassis). Sec02-pg27
