2. Safety
2.1 Safety Alert Symbol
This Safety Alert Symbol means:
ATTENTION! BE ALERT!
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
The Safety Alert Symbol identies important safety
messages on Wallenstein equipment and in the
manual. When you see this symbol, be alert to the
possibility of personal injury or death. Follow the
instructions in the safety message.
2.2 Signal Words
The signal words DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION
determine the seriousness level of the warning
messages in this manual. The appropriate signal word
for each message in this manual has been selected
using the following guidelines:
DANGER –
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if
not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.
This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme
situations typically for machine components which, for
functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING –
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury, and
includes hazards that are exposed when guards are
removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe
practices.
CAUTION –
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may
also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
IMPORTANT–To avoid confusing equipment protection
with personal safety messages, a signal word
IMPORTANT indicates a situation that if not avoided,
could result in damage to the machine.
NOTE: (plus text)–indicates an additional
explanation for an element of information.

2.3 Why is SAFETY important?
Three Big Reasons:
• Accidents Disable and Kill
• Accidents Cost
• Accidents Can Be Avoided
The policy of EMB Manufacturing Inc. (EMB) is to
produce products that are safe and reliable. However,
even when using well-engineered equipment, there
is always an element of risk. To minimize the risks
and promote safety at all times, this section of the
operator’s manual details a number of safety rules that
must always be followed and obeyed.
YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and
maintenance of your Wallenstein Skid Steer Mounted
backhoe Attachment. YOU must ensure that you and
anyone else who is going to use, maintain or work
around the backhoe be familiar with the operating
and maintenance procedures and related SAFETY
information contained in this manual. This manual
provides good safety practices that should be followed
while using the Wallenstein Backhoe.
Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety
practices not only protect you but also the people
around you. Make these practices a working part of
your safety program. Be certain that EVERYONE
using this equipment is familiar with the recommended
operating and maintenance procedures and follows
all the safety precautions. Most accidents can be
prevented.
Do not risk injury or death by ignoring good safety
practices.
2.4 Safety Rules
• DO give operating instructions to
operators or employees before
allowing them to operate the
machine.
• DO read, understand and follow ALL Safety
and Operating instructions in the manual. Most
accidents can be avoided. The most important
safety device on this equipment is a SAFE
operator.
• DO review safety related items annually with all
personnel who will be operating or performing
maintenance.
• DO wear appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE). This equipment
includes but is not limited to the following:
- Hearing Protection
- Protective shoes with slip resistant
soles
- Protective glasses, goggles or face
shield
- Protective work gloves
Z94239
• DO set the machine in a Safe Condition before
performing any service, maintenance work, storage
preparation, or hooking up.
• DO have a rst-aid kit available
for use should the need arise and
know how to use it.
• DO read and understand all safety signs located
on the machine before using, maintaining,
adjusting or cleaning.
• DO inspect and secure all guards before starting.
• DO have a re extinguisher available for
use should the need arise and know how
to use it.
• DO think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
• DO NOT allow any person to operate the machine
who has not read and understood all the safety
instructions. An untrained operator is not qualied
and is exposed, and exposes bystanders to
possible serious injury or death. It is the owner's
responsibility to the operator to ensure familiarity
and understanding of the machine.
• DO NOT modify the equipment in any way.
Unauthorized modication may impair function or
safety, and could affect the life of the equipment.
• DO NOT allow riders during transport. Never carry,
lift or move people on boom or bucket.
• DO NOT risk injury or death by ignoring good
safety practices.
