UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS
Any modification made without authorization or written approval from Daewoo can create a safety hazard,
for which machine owner must be held responsible.
For safety's sake, replace all OEM parts with correct authorized or genuine Daewoo part. For example, not
taking time to replace fasteners, bolts or nuts with correct replacement parts could lead to a condition in
which safety of critical assemblies is dangerously compromised.
WORK SITE PRECAUTIONS
ATTACHMENT PRECAUTIONS
Options kits are available through your dealer. Contact Daewoo for information on available one-way
(single-acting) and two-way (double-acting) piping / valving / auxiliary control kits. Because Daewoo cannot
anticipate, identify or test all attachments that owners may wish to install on their machines, please contact
Daewoo for authorization and approval of attachments, and their compatibility with options kits.
AVOID HIGH VOLTAGE CABLES
Serious injury or death can result from contact
or proximity to high voltage electric lines. The
bucket does not have to make physical contact
with power lines for current to be transmitted.
Use a spotter and hand signals to stay away
from power lines not clearly visible to operator.
Use these minimum distances as a guideline only. Depending upon voltage in line and atmospheric
conditions, strong current shocks can occur with boom or bucket as far away as 4 - 6 m (13 - 20 ft) from
power line. Very high voltage and rainy weather could further decrease that safety margin.
NOTE: Before starting any type of operation near power lines (either above ground or buried
cable type) you should always contact power utility directly and work out a safety plan with
them.
IMPORTANT
If you need more information or have any questions or concerns about safe operating
procedures or working wheel loader correctly in a particular application or in specific conditions
of your individual operating environment, please consult your local Daewoo representative.

BEFORE STARTING TO DIG, CONTACT AUTHORITIES
Below ground hazards also include natural gas lines, water mains, tunnels and buried foundations. Know
what's underneath work site before starting to dig.
BE AWARE OF HEIGHT OBSTACLES
Any type of object in vicinity of boom could represent a potential hazard, or cause operator to react
suddenly and cause an accident. Use a spotter or signal person working near bridges, phone lines, work
site scaffolds, or other obstructions.
USE CARE ON LOOSE SUPPORT
Working heavy loads over loose, soft ground or uneven, broken terrain can cause dangerous side load
conditions and possible tipover and injury. Travel without a load or balanced load may also be hazardous.
If temperatures are changing, be cautious of dark and wet patches when working or traveling over frozen
ground. Stay away from ditches, overhangs and all other weak support surfaces. Halt work and install
support mats or blocking if work is required in an area of poor support.
USE SOLID SUPPORT BLOCKING
Never rely on lift jacks or other inadequate supports when work is being done. Block wheels fore and aft to
prevent any movement.
DIGGING BENEATH OVERHANGS
Digging beneath an overhang is dangerous. Overhang could collapse on top of operator and cause serious
injury or death. Go onto another digging area before steep overhangs are formed. Know height and reach
limits of wheel loader and plan ahead while working. Park wheel loader away from overhangs before work
shut down.
DIGGING BENEATH WHEEL LOADER
Digging beneath wheel loader is dangerous. Earth beneath could collapse. This could cause wheel loader
to tip, which could cause serious injury or death to operator. Working around deep pits, trenching or along
high walls may require support blocks, especially after heavy rainfalls or during spring thaws.
SLOPING TERRAIN REQUIRES CAUTION
Dig evenly around work site whenever possible,
trying to gradually level any existing slope. If it's
not possible to level area or avoid working on a
slope, reducing size and cycling rate workload is
recommended.
On sloping surfaces, use caution when
positioning wheel loader before starting a work
cycle. Stay alert for unstable situations to avoid
getting into them. For example, you should
always avoid working bucket over downhill side
of machine when parked perpendicular to slope.
Avoid full extensions of bucket in a downhill
direction. Lifting bucket too high, too close to
machine, while wheel loader is turned uphill can
also be hazardous.

STAY ALERT FOR PEOPLE MOVING
THROUGH WORK AREA
When loading a truck you should always know
where the driver is.
Avoid loading over the cab of a truck even if the
driver is in a safe spot. Someone else could
have gone inside, for any number of reasons.
Avoid working where unseen passersby might
be.
Slow down work cycle and use slower travel
speeds in congested or populated areas. Use a
commonly understood signal so that other
members of work crew can warn operator to
slow or halt work in an impending hazardous
situation.
BE AWARE OF AND CONFORM TO LOCAL REGULATIONS
Minimum levels of insurance coverage, work permits or certification, physical barriers around work site or
restricted hours of operation may be mandated by governing authorities. There may also be guidelines,
standards or restrictions on equipment that may be used to perform certain kinds of work. Check and
follow all local requirements, which may also be related to below ground hazards and power lines.
OPERATION
OPERATE WHILE SEATED AT OPERATOR'S
STATION ONLY
Never reach in through a window to work a
control. Do not try to operate wheel loader
unless you're in command position – seated at
controls. You should stay alert and focused on
your work at all times but Do not twist out of seat
if job activity behind you (or to the side) requires
your attention.
Use a spotter or signal person if you can't see
clearly and something is happening behind you.
Replace damaged safety labels and lost or
damaged operator's manuals.
Do not let anyone operate machine unless
they've been fully and completely trained, in
safety and in operation of machine.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE, DO A "PRESTART" SAFETY CHECK:
• Walk around your machine before getting in operator's cab. Look for evidence of leaking fluid,
loose fasteners, misaligned assemblies or any other indications of possible equipment hazard.
• All equipment covers and machinery safety guards must be in place, to protect against injury
while machine is being operated.
• Look around work site area for potential hazards, or people or property that could be at risk
while operation is in progress.
• Never start engine if there is any indication that maintenance or service work is in progress, or if
a warning tag is attached to controls in cab.
• A machine that has not been used recently, or is being operated in extremely cold temperatures,
could require a warm-up or maintenance service before start-up.
• Check gauges and monitor displays for normal operation before starting engine. Listen for
unusual noises and remain alert for other potentially hazardous conditions at start of work cycle.
• Check tire inflation and check tires for damage or uneven wear. Perform maintenance before
operation.
NEVER USE ETHER STARTING AIDS
An electric grid type manifold heater is used for
cold starting. Glowing heater element can cause
ether or other starting fluid to detonate, causing
injury.
MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
Never get on or off a moving machine. Do not
jump on/off. Entry/egress path should be clear
of mud, oil and spills and mounting hardware
must be kept tight and secure.
Always use handholds or steps and maintain at
least 3-point contact of hands and feet. Never
use controls as handholds.
Never get up from operator's seat or leave
operator's station and dismount machine if
engine is running.
