b General Safety Information
Operators and maintenance personnel must always comply with the following precautions. These precautions are given here for your
protection. Review them carefully before operating the machine and before performing general maintenance or repairs. Supervising
personnel should develop additional precautions relating to the specific work area and local safety regulations.
• Before operating the machine ensure you have had proper
training and are fully conversant with the machine and its
operation - If in Doubt ASK!
• Read this instruction manual carefully before operating the
machine. Ensure this instruction manual is kept with the
machine at all times and is in good condition - replace the
manual immediately if it becomes dirty, damaged or lost.
• Safety signs are fitted to machine for safety purposes and
MUST be replaced immediately if they are unreadable or
lost. If the machine is repaired and parts have been replaced
on which decals were fixed ensure new decals are fitted
before the machine is put into service.
• Always make sure there is adequate ventilation around the
machine. Never run the engine in an enclosed area without
good ventilation or next to combustible materials.
• Stop the engine before refuelling, if there is a spillage mop it
up and do not start the engine until it has been done.
• The exhaust gets extremely hot. Do not place anything on
top of it and keep all combustible materials clear. Do not
attempt any maintenance on a hot engine.
• Be familiar with all prohibited work areas such as excessive
slopes and dangerous terrain conditions.
• Check your local laws and regulations, the engine may
require a spark arrester etc.
• Do not inspect or clean the machine with the engine running.
• Before carrying out maintenance on the hydraulic system
ensure the hydraulic fluid is cool and there is no residual
pressure in the hydraulic circuit - hydraulic fluid leaking
under pressure can penetrate the skin.
• Make sure you, and anyone else who uses the machine, have
been trained to operate it correctly.
• Personal Protective Equipment must be used as necessary.
• Establish a training programme for all operators to ensure
they are fully familiar with its operation.

and locked in position.
• Do not drive the machine with the skip raised.
• Do not operate the machine if you are unfit to do so because
of alcohol or drugs etc.
• Before performing any maintenance on the machine, place a
warning tag on the machine to prevent accidental start-up
and/or remove the start key and battery isolator. Put the
locking bar into position to prevent the front and rear chassis
moving and creating a crushing zone.
• Ensure the ROPS/FOPS is not damaged.
• The operator must get off machine when loading the dumper
skip.
• Do not carry passengers.
• Keep footplates and steps free from dirt, oil, snow, ice etc.
• Check seat belts daily. ALWAYS WEAR A SEAT BELT
WHEN OPERATING THE MACHINE.
• Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Do
not add coolant to a hot engine.
• Always park machine correctly on firm, level ground where
it will not cause an obstruction or danger - chock the wheels
if necessary. DO NOT LEAVE THE ENGINE RUNNING or
the start key in the start switch.
• Before taking the machine on public roads ensure the
machine complies with all road traffic regulations and obey
all driving laws.
• Tyre Changes and repairs to Punctured Tyres MUST only be
carried out by fully trained Operatives using the correct
equipment. The manufacturer of this machine recommends a
competent firm is employed to carry out these tasks.
• If the machine is fitted with ROPS/FOPS and the machine
should roll over, the Operator must grip the steering wheel
firmly allowing the seat belt to restrain him/her in the seat
until the machine comes to rest.
