OPERATE MACHINE SAFELY
Clear all persons from area of operation and machine
movement.
Use your seat belt.
Make sure the work site footing has sufficient strength to
firmly support the machine. When working close to an
excavation, position machine with propel motors at the
rear.
Be cautious of tipping when working on frozen ground.
Temperature increases will cause ground to become soft,
making ground unstable.
When digging deep, avoid hitting bottom of boom or
bucket cylinder hoses against the ground.
Use the bucket only for digging. Do not use it as a jack
hammer or wrecking ball.
