2.5 General Safety Notes
• Read and understand all safety signs and operator’s manuals prior to opera-
tion.
• If safety signs are obstructed by dirt or debris, clean them using mild soap
and water prior to operation. DO NOT use solvent based cleaners, as they
may damage the safety sign material.
• If safety signs are damaged or illegible, replace them immediately, prior to
operation.
• Never jump off of the machine. Instead use the hand holds and step
designed for entering and exiting the machine. Face the machine and use
three points of contact to ensure your safety.
• Do not use any method of operation, inspection, or maintenance that may
impair safety.
• This machine is only to be used when properly equipped for the task to be
performed and when properly inspected and maintained to ensure safe
operation.
• The manufacturer’s instructions regarding operation, inspection, mainte-
nance, repair and transportation must be followed.
• Never place the machine into operation without having first performed a
thorough walk-around inspection and making any necessary repairs or
adjustments.
• Safety devices on the machine shall not be deactivated or removed.
• Do not make any changes, additions or conversions to the machine that
could have a negative effect on safety without the manufacturer’s written
approval.

2.6 Personal Protection Equipment
The machine is designed to accommodate and protect an operator during opera-
tion from foreseeable injury when used as intended and when equipped prop-
erly for the task(s) being performed. Operators should not wear rings, scarves,
open jackets, and should ensure that all clothing is tightly secured. Long hair
should be restrained. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must be worn in the
absence of an enclosed cab. In this case PPE would include, but not be limited to,
safety glasses. The use of some attachments may require additional PPE, such as
hearing protection, hardhat, gloves, and steel-toed shoes. In some applications
high visibility/reflective jackets are required.
Personal protection equipment is also recommended when performing mainte-
nance or service on a machine. Always wear appropriate protective equipment for
working conditions when working on or around the machine. Loose clothing
should not be worn and long hair should be restrained. Wear hard hats, protective
face/eyewear, safety shoes and any other equipment necessary to ensure your
safety and the safety of others around you as you work.
2.7 Hazard Zone
The hazard zone encompasses the area around the machine in which persons
may be injured by movements of the machine during operation, its attachments,
or by falling loads.
Do not position yourself or allow anyone else within this hazard zone during
machine operation. Keep a safe distance to ensure your safety while the machine
is in operation.
If someone enters the hazard zone, the operator must stop all work and give a
warning signal to the person who may be in danger to leave the hazard zone.
Work should not resume until all persons have vacated the hazard zone.
To minimize the possibility of a crushing hazard, a sufficient safety distance (min.
1.6 ft (0.5 m)) must be kept from solid objects, e. g. buildings, slopes, scaffolding,
other machines, etc. If that distance cannot be kept, fence off the area between
solid construction elements and the working range of the machine.
If conditions are such that the machine operator’s view of the driving and working
zone is restricted, he must be guided or the driving and working zone must be
secured by means of a solid barricade.
