General Safety Procedures


Safety Alert Symbol

Always stop and take time to read ALL safety alert messages. Follow all safety messages to avoid injury and/or death. [2]

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Always wear eye protection and personal safety equipment. [2]

Use protective clothing and safety equipment, including gloves, safety boots, safety hard hats/goggles, and ear protection when necessary. Wear protective clothing that is snug and belted where required. [2] [2]

Operator Qualifications

The operator must be fully trained and qualified to operate this machine. Before start-up or machine operation, the operator must learn the location and purpose of the controls, instruments, indicator lights, and safety and instruction labels. [2] [2]

Fire Prevention and First Aid

Install a first-aid kit and fire extinguisher in the operator's cab. Keep the first-aid kit and fire extinguisher properly maintained, following the instructions provided with them. [2] [2]

Hydraulic Safety


Hot Hydraulic Oil

Hot hydraulic oil can cause severe burns. Do not work on the hydraulic system if the oil temperature exceeds 120°F (49°C). [1]

Hydraulic System Procedures

Before working on the hydraulic system:

Lower the boom to the horizontal position. [1]

Support the boom to avoid unintentional lowering. [1]

Shut down the engine. [1]

Remove the key from the ignition. [1]

Clean the area around the oil reservoir cap. [1]

Fluids Under Pressure

Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious personal injury. [1]

Inspection and Maintenance

Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks. Do not use hands. [1]

Before disconnecting lines, be sure to relieve all pressure. Before applying pressure to the system, ensure that all connections are tight. Do not apply pressure to a damaged line, hose, or fitting. [1]

First Aid

If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Proper medical treatment must be administered immediately. A serious infection or reaction can result without proper medical treatment. [1]

Servicing Tires Safely


Tire Explosion Hazard

An improperly mounted over-pressurized tire can result in tire explosion causing possible personal injury. An inflation cage or other safety device must be used during tire inflation. [1]

Qualified Personnel

Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to perform the job. If you do not have the proper qualifications to perform the job, have your dealer or a qualified repair service perform the repair. [1]
