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.
