GENERAL SAFETY
NEVER OPERATE AN EXCAVATOR WITHOUT SAFETY 
GUARDS INSTALLED. 
Safety glass and wire mesh cab guarding must be 
installed to protect the operator from ying debris that may 
be created during processing. Falling Object Protection 
Structures, or FOPS, are required for any application 
where material is to be handled overheard. AVOID THIS 
SITUATION WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
CURRENT IN HIGH VOLTAGE LINES MAY ARC SOME 
DISTANCE FROM THE WIRE TO A NEARBY GROUND. 
KEEP ALL PARTS OF THE MACHINE AT LEAST 50 
FEET (16M) AWAY FROM POWER LINES.
All local, state/provincial and federal regulations must be 
met before approaching power lines, overhead or under-
ground cables, or power sources with any part of the exca-
vator. Do not operate the machine near energized power 
lines. Always contact the electrical power company when 
operating near power lines. The lines should be moved, 
insulated, disconnected or de-energized and grounded 
before operating in the area.
Equipment operation and maintenance practices directly 
affect your safety and the safety of those around you. 
Always use common sense while operating and be alert 
to unsafe conditions.
Do not operate if an unsafe condition exists. Stop opera-
tion immediately, shut down the machine and report the 
unsafe condition to the proper authority. 
EXCAVATORS IN OVERHEAD DEMOLITION OR HIGH 
REACH APPLICATIONS MUST HAVE PRIORITIZED 
OIL FLOW TO THEIR MAIN VALVES. 
Processors require high volumes of oil at lower pressures 
to open and close the jaw in the non-cutting mode. In the 
event of a building or structure collapse, if the excavator 
does not have prioritized ow, opening the jaw will render 
other functions, such as stick, boom and tracking, slow or 
inoperable because oil will go to the path of least resis-
tance, which is the jaw function. Although this is not a 
common situation, it must be addressed with your excava-
tor dealer prior to installation.
