Â Walk around the machine and warn all personnel

who may be servicing the machine or are in the

machine’s path prior to starting. DO NOT start

until all personnel are away from the machine.

Â ALWAYS use the recommended hand holds and

steps with at least three points of support when get-

ting on and off the machine. Keep steps and plat-

form clean. Face the access system when climbing

up and down.

Â NEVER attempt to by-pass the keyswitch to start

the engine. ONLY use the jump-starting procedure

detailed in the SERVICE & STORAGE chapter.

DO NOT bypass the machine’s neutral-start sys-

tem. The neutral-start system must be repaired if it

malfunctions.

Â NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic

fluid leaks. Use a piece of paper or cardboard.

Escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible and

can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. If any

fluid is injected into your skin, see a doctor at

once. Injected fluid MUST be surgically removed

by a doctor familiar with this type of injury or gan-

grene may result.

Â DO NOT exceed the machine’s rated operating

capacity for the type of attachment tool being used.

Â DO NOT allow minors or unqualified personnel to

operate or be near the machine unless properly

supervised; this is strictly a single seat, NO pas-

senger machine!

Â DO NOT start the engine or operate any controls

unless properly seated in the operator’s seat!

Â DO NOT run the engine in an enclosed area with-

out providing proper ventilation for the exhaust.

Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odor-

less and deadly gas. Internal combustion engines

deplete the oxygen supply within enclosed spaces

and may create a serious hazard unless the oxygen

is replaced. This includes the atmosphere within

the cab when provided.

Â DO NOT leave the operator’s station with the

boom and attachment tool raised. ALWAYS lower

the boom and attachment tool to the ground, shut

off the engine and engage the parking brake

BEFORE leaving the operator’s station.

Â DO NOT refill the fuel tank when the engine is

hot. Allow engine to cool down BEFORE refilling

to prevent hot engine from igniting the fuel if it

should spill or splash.

Â DO NOT smoke while filling the fuel tank, while

working on the fuel or hydraulic systems, or while

working around the battery.

Â DO NOT drive too close to an excavation or ditch.

BE SURE that the surrounding ground has ade-

quate strength to support the weight of the machine

and the load it is carrying.

Â DO NOT turn quickly while traveling on a slope or

operate the machine beyond the grade and slope

limits noted in the OPERATION & ADJUST-

MENT chapter of the Operator’s Manual.

Â If necessary to park on a grade, park across the

slope and block the wheels.

Â DO NOT fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room

for expansion. Maintain control of the fuel filler

nozzle when filling the tank. Use the correct fuel

grade for the operating season.

Â NEVER use fuel for cleaning purposes.

Â DO NOT remove the radiator cap after the engine

has reached operating temperature or if it is over-

heated. At operating temperatures, the engine

coolant will be extremely HOT and under pressure.

ALWAYS wait for the engine to cool down before
