•
If the front attachment or any part of the machine comes in
contact with an overhead obstacle, both the machine and
the overhead obstacle may become damaged, and personal
injury may result.
• Take care to avoid coming in contact with overhead obsta
-
cles with the bucket or arm during operation.
•
The machine is vulnerable to lighting strikes.
• In the event of an electrical storm, immediately stop opera
-
tion, and lower the bucket to the ground. Evacuate to a safe
place far away from the machine.
• After the electrical storm has passed, check all of the ma
-
chine safety devices for any failure. If any failed safety de-
vices are found, operate the machine only after repairing
them.
•
If a lifted load should fall, any person nearby may be struck by
the falling load or may be crushed underneath it, resulting in
serious injury or death.
• When using the machine for craning operations, be sure to
comply with all local regulations.
• Do not use damaged chains or frayed cables, sables, slings,
or ropes.
• Before craning, position the upperstructure with the posi
-
tion of the bucket support located on the chassis at the
front.
• Move the load slowly and carefully. Never move it suddenly.
• Keep all persons well away from the load.
• Never move a load over a person's head.
• Do not allow anyone to approach the load until it is safely
and securely situated on supporting blocks or on the
ground.
• Never attach a sling or chain to the bucket teeth. They may
come off, causing the load to fall.
