WARNING Walking or working under a raised boom and dipper is hazardous. You could be crushed by the
boom and dipper or get caught in the linkages. Lower the boom and dipper before doing these checks.

We advise you also to stop the machine occasionally during long work sessions and do the checks again.
All these checks concern the serviceability of the machine. Some concern your safety. Get your service engineer
