General Precautions
Never remove safety equipment
Make sure all protective guards, canopies,
doors, etc., are in place and secure. Repair
or replace damaged components before
operating the machine.
Know how to use the safety bar, seat belt
and other safety equipment and use them
properly.
Never remove any safety equipment
except for service. Keep all safety
equipment in good operating condition.
Crush Hazard
FOPS Limitations
Various classes and sizes of off-road equipment
operate in a wide variety of applications and
environmental conditions.
With the intention of providing operators with
reasonable protection from falling objects,
two levels of FOPS (Falling-Object Protective
Structure) acceptance criteria have been
developed based on end use:
Level 1 ...protection from falling bricks,
small concrete blocks and hand
encountered in operations such as
highway maintenance, landscaping
and other construction site services.
Level 2 ...protection from falling trees or rocks
for machines involved in site clearing,
overhead demolition or forestry.
This machine is equipped with a Level 1 FOPS as
standard equippment. DO NOT use this machine
in an application that may involve the hazards of
falling trees or rocks. If Level 2 FOPS protection
is required in your application, contact your dealer
or the manufacturer concerning the possible
availability of such protection.
Use a signal person and flagman
Know and use the hand signals required for
particular jobs and make sure who has the
responsibility for signaling.
All personnel must fully understand all the
signals.
The operator shall respond to signals only
from the appointed signal person, but
shall obey a stop signal at any time from
anyone.
The signal person must stand in a clearly
visible location when giving signals.
Be sure to raise the safety bar
before leaving the operator’s seat
Before leaving the operator’s seat:
• Lower the lift arms to the ground or
engage the lift arm stop.
• Stop the engine.
• Raise the safety bar to engage the lock.
• Remove the key and take it with you.
If any controls are touched accidentally
when the safety bar is lowered, the
machine will move suddenly, and cause
serious injury or death.
