WARNING
!
Raising hydraulic pressure on this
machine above the factory approved
settings may cause death, severe
injury or property damage and will
void the warranty.
The consequences of increasing hydraulic
pressure are serious. The function of the relief
valves is to provide a fuse action to protect the
machine and the operator from overloading. When
overloaded, the machine can become stressed to a
level where parts fracture causing death, severe injury
or property damage. This is an extremely
dangerous practice.
Accordingly, you are advised that the pressure
settings of this machine are limited to the factory
approved settings. Pressures in excess of these
settings render each and all Barko warranties null and
void and constitute an obvious misuse and abuse of
our product.

KNOW YOUR
The following is a list of 10 important safety precautions and warnings you
should read through and understand before operating or servicing your machine.
Don't assume that because you know the control functions of other similar machinery, that
you can run and/or service the BARKO machine. All machines differ in some ways, and these
differences must be noted and acknowledged. Read this manual thoroughly and understand all
safety, operating, and servicing procedures before using the machine.
Know how to put your machine in a zero energy state for purposes of inspection,
maintenance, or repair.
Clear operating area of all obstacles and personnel before operating machine.
Never approach power lines with any part of the machine or load! Current in a high voltage
power line may arc some distance to jump from the wire to a nearby "ground".
KEEP WELL CLEAR!
Allow only the operator on the machine. Keep riders off. Riders on machine are subject to
injury such as being struck by foreign objects and being thrown off the machine. Riders also
obstruct the operator's view, resulting in the machine being operated in an unsafe manner.
Never use a boom or attachment for a work platform or personnel carrier. Serious injury or
death may result.
When machine is not operating or when leaving cab, boom or lift arm and attachment must
be lowered to the ground. Failure to do so may allow boom or attachment to move, causing
property damage, injury, or death.
Do not tamper with any hydraulic line when it is pressurized. Escaping fluid under pressure
can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Relieve pressure before unhooking hydraulic or
other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure. Keep hands and body away from
pinholes and nozzles which eject fluids under high pressure. Use a piece of cardboard to search
for leaks.
If any fluid is injected into the skin, seek professional medical attention immediately!
Under no circumstances should any modifications be made to BARKO machinery without
factory authorization. Any modifications may void the warranty. This machine was designed to
do a specific job and alterations could result in property damage, injury or death.
Replace any safety decals that are faded, torn, missing, illegible, or otherwise damaged.
See your machine's Decals section for decal kits applicable to your machine and for locations of
all decals.

SAFETY SUMMARY (continued...)
Use only hydraulic fluid in hydraulic oil reservoir. Use
only diesel fuel in fuel reservoir. Other fluids will cause
machine damage.
Use caution when checking items beyond your reach.
Use an approved safety ladder.
Do not exceed 15 PSI nozzle pressure when drying
parts with compressed air. Do not direct compressed
air against human skin. Serious injury could result.
CALIFORNIA Proposition 65 Warning
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, and other reproductive harm.
On machines equipped with an accumulator, release
all pressure before working on the system. After
service work is done, pre-pressurize the accumulator(s) to
the proper specification.
Transparent material such as safety glass must
be replaced when it is cracked or broken, or
when vision is obscured due to scratches.
Remove or secure all personal or maintenance items
such as lunch buckets, chains, shovels, tools, etc.,
before moving or operating machine.
Older air conditioning equipment may contain R-12, a
substance which harms public health and
environment by destroying ozone in the upper
atmosphere.
ŸTo remove R-12 from the air conditioning system, use
service equipment certified to meet the requirements of
S.A.E. J2209 or J1990.
SAFE OPERATION ON SLOPED TERRAIN
When you work on slopes there are several important points to consider:
ŸAlways use a seat belt when provided.
ŸSpeed of travel or working tools – higher speeds or sudden starts and stops can tend to make the machine less stable
ŸTerrain – soft ground, slopes, uneven surfaces (stumps, fallen trees and slash, rocks, valleys/rises, drop-offs or ledges,
overhangs), changing soil types, moisture, ice and snow affect the machine stability. Irregular terrain must be traveled at
slower speeds.
ŸDirection of travel - Avoid operating the machine across the slope. When possible travel up or down slopes. Place the
heaviest end of the machine uphill and keep the load low to the ground. Turning uphill with an articulated machine can
increase the chance of tip-over.
ŸLoads and shifting loads – Do not overload. Keep the load low and close to the machine. Contact with overhead wires,
trees, fallen trees or the ground can cause the load to shift unexpectedly and reduce stability.
ŸMachine configuration – Will affect the weight distribution, the stability, the operating performance, and the machine control on
slopes.
ŸVisibility – irregular, snow-covered or slash-covered terrain can reduce visibility in the path of the tracks or wheels and to the
surrounding area, the load, other vehicles, obstacles, and people.
ŸCondition of the machine – Machine control and performance when operating on slopes may require special machine
maintenance or more frequent intervals. Fluid levels, track tension or tire inflation pressure can affect machine control on
slopes.
ŸDo not operate a machine on a slope without proper training. Learn the stability limits of the machine by first working on
gentle slopes. Gain experience and improve skills over time by gradually increasing the angle of slopes on which you are
working. As operating conditions change make the appropriate decisions and adjustments to maintain safe machine
operation.

safety instructions.
Before adding fuel, shut down the engine and allow it
to cool. Never smoke while handling fuel or working on
either the fuel or the hydraulic system.
Daily inspect all fuel and hydraulic oil tubes, hoses,
and fittings for damage and leakage. Tighten or
replace as necessary. Always clean fluid spills.
Do not use ether or starting fluids on diesel engines
with glow plugs. These starting aids can explode and
injure bystanders.
Daily inspect the machine for flammable debris,
removing any twigs, leaves, straw, rags, fluid spills or
leaks, dirt or grime. Pay special attention to areas such
as the engine, engine cooling system, exhaust system,
battery, electrical connections, brake systems, transmission
/drivetrain, fuel system and hydraulic system. Clean as
often as necessary to help prevent overheating and
combustion.
The electrical system (battery, electrical connections,
etc.) can be a source of arcs or sparks if damaged or
incorrectly maintained. Daily inspect all electrical wiring
and connections for damage. Keep the battery terminals
clean and tight. Replace or repair any damaged part.
Use proper battery connection and disconnection
procedures.
This machine may have several components which are at high temperatures under normal operating
