Crystalline Silica Exposure
Exposure to crystalline silica (found in sand, soil
and rocks) has been associated with silicosis, a
debilitating and often fatal lung disease. A Hazard
Review (Pub. No. 2002-129) by the U.S. National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) indicates a significant risk of chronic
silicosis for workers exposed to inhaled crystalline
silica over a working lifetime. NIOSH recommends
an exposure limit of 0.05 mg/m
3
as a time-weighted
average for up to a 10-hr workday during a 40-hr
work week. NIOSH also recommends substituting
less hazardous materials when feasible, using
respiratory protection and regular medical
examinations for exposed workers.
Transporting the Machine
Obey federal, state and local over-the-road
regulations. Check restrictions regarding weight,
height, width and length of a load. The hauling
vehicle, trailer and load must all be in compliance
with applicable regulations. See “Loading and
Transporting the Machine on a Transport Vehicle”
on page 117.
Lifting the Machine with a Crane
Only lift the machine according to the following
guidelines:
• The crane and rigging equipment must have
sufficient capacity. See “Weights” on
page 39.
• Secure the machine against unintentional
movement. Use taglines as needed.
• Do not lift the machine with persons on or in
the machine.
• Any person guiding the crane operator must
be within sight or sound of the crane operator.
• Lift the machine only with the standard
bucket installed, with the bucket empty and
in the transport position.
• Persons must stay clear of, and not under, the
machine when it is lifted.
• Fasten the rigging equipment so the machine
is horizontal when it is lifted.
• Do not lift the machine by the cab. Attach the
rigging equipment only at the lift points iden-
tified by this symbol:
• Lift the machine according to “Lifting the
Machine using a Crane” on page 116.
Loading and Transporting the
Machine
• Load and transport the machine according to
“Loading and Transporting the Machine on a
Transport Vehicle” on page 117.
• The transport vehicle must support the height,
width, length and weight of the machine. See
“Dimensions” on page 36 and “Weights” on
page 39.
• Remove any dirt, snow or ice from the tracks on
the machine, and from the loading ramps and
transport platform, to prevent slipping.
• Secure the machine to the transport vehicle
according to “Loading and Transporting the
Machine on a Transport Vehicle” on page 117 to
prevent unintentional movement.
