Stay away from power lines when transporting, raising, or operating the attachment. Electrocution can occur
without direct contact.
The attachment must be securely latched to the vehicle. An improperly latched attachment can fall without
warning.
Keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry, and clothing away from all moving and/or rotating parts.
Never place yourself between the vehicle and the attachment.
Never allow anyone under the attachment at any time. Even supported by hydraulics with the engine shut off,
equipment can suddenly drop if controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines burst.
Keep clear of the Driver-Breaker while in operation. Never position, align, or support the post by hand or with
any tool when the attachment is in operation.
Carry the load low. A heavy load can cause instability of the vehicle. Slow down on turns and watch out for
bumps. Use all safety devices, including a seat belt, as recommended in the vehicle operator’s manual.
Do not operate the Driver-Breaker on steep hillsides. When operating the Driver-Breaker on uneven or hilly
terrain, position the vehicle with the attachment uphill. With the attachment downhill, the vehicle could tip when
attempting to raise the attachment. Consult your vehicle operator’s manual for maximum incline allowable.
Always shut off the vehicle engine, remove the key, lower vehicle arms, and relieve all hydraulic pressure before
dismounting the vehicle. Never leave equipment unattended with the vehicle running.
Never attempt adjustments, service, or repairs while the equipment is in operation.
Before servicing or adjusting attachment, relieve all stored energy.
Before disconnecting hydraulic lines or fittings, be sure to relieve all pressure by cycling all hydraulic controls
after shutdown. Remember hydraulic systems are under pressure whenever the engine is running and may hold
pressure after shutdown.
Store the attachment on a flat, level surface in an area where children do not play. Securely block and support
the attachment.
Do not modify the attachment. Modifications may weaken the integrity of the attachment and may impair the
safety, function, life, and performance of the Driver-Breaker.
When making repairs or servicing the attachment, use only parts that meet original equipment manufacturer’s
standards and requirements.
Always use care when operating the Driver-Breaker. Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness.
