GENERAL SAFETY ESSENTIALS
Accessory Applications
The excavator has been primarily designed for moving earth
with a bucket. For use as a grapple or for other object handling,
contact
DOOSAN
for proper installation and application. Lifting-
work applications (unless restricted or prohibited by local
regulations) are permitted in approved lift configuration, to rated
capacity only, with no side-loading. DO NOT use the machine for
activities for which it was not intended. DO NOT use the bucket
for lifting work, unless lift slings are used in the approved
configuration.
Use of an accessory hydraulic hammer (breaker), work in rough
terrain, demolition applications or other hazardous operation
may require installation of additional protective structures to
safeguard the operator.
Lifting Capacity Rating Configuration
Lifting capacity ratings that are printed at the end of this safety
section are based on the machine being level, on a firm
supporting surface, with hooks and slings attached in approved
configuration. Loads must be balanced and supported evenly.
Use tag lines to keep the load steady if wind conditions and
large surface area are a problem. Work crew hand signals,
individual tasks and safe procedures should all be universally
understood before the lift is made
.
IMPORTANT
Before using the excavator to make lifts check municipal
and regional regulations or statutes that could apply.
Governing ordinances may require that all heavy lifting be
done with single purpose equipment specifically designed
for making lifts, or other local restrictions may apply.
Making heavy lifts with a general purpose excavator that
can be used for digging, loading, grading or other work may
be expressly forbidden by a regional injunction or other
legal prohibition. Always follow all of the other instructions,
guidelines and restrictions for Safe Lifting in the Operation
and Maintenance Manuals.

LOCATION OF SAFETY LABELS

Refer to appropriate Operation and Maintenance Manual, and
parts manual for your unit.
Always replace damaged or faded decals.

SUMMARY OF SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR LIFTING IN
DIGGING MODE
To lift safely while in Digging Mode, the following items must be
evaluated by the operator and the work site crew.
• Condition of ground support.
• Excavator configuration and attachments.
•Weight, lifting height and lifting radius.
• Safe rigging of the load.
• Proper handling of the suspended load.
Tag lines on opposite sides of the load can be very helpful in
keeping a suspended load secure, if they are anchored safely to
control points on the ground.
Always engage the "Digging Mode" control on the Instrument
Panel before using the excavator for lifting work.
DANGER!
Unsafe use of the excavator while making rated lifts could
cause serious, potentially fatal injuries or extensive damage
to the machine or nearby property. Do not let anyone
operate the machine unless they've been properly trained
and understand the information in the Operation and
Maintenance Manual.
WARNING!
NEVER wrap a tag line around your hands or body.
NEVER rely on tag lines or make rated lifts when wind gusts
are more than 48.3 km/h (30 MPH). Be prepared for any type
of wind gust when working with loads that have a large
surface area.
WARNING!
If you need more information or have any questions or
concerns about safe operating procedures or working the
excavator correctly in a particular application or in the
specific conditions of your individual operating
environment, please consult your local
DOOSAN
representative.
