AVOID INJURY FROM BACK-OVER AND
SWING ACCIDENTS
•
If any person is present near the machine when backing
or swinging the upperstructure, the machine may hit or
run over that person, resulting in serious injury or death.
To avoid back-over and swing accidents:
• Always look around BEFORE YOU BACK UP AND
SWING THE MACHINE. BE SURE THAT ALL
BYSTANDERS ARE CLEAR.
• Keep the travel alarm in working condition (if
equipped).
ALWAYS BE ALERT FOR BYSTANDERS MOVING
INTO THE WORK AREA. USE THE HORN OR
OTHER SIGNAL TO WARN BYSTANDERS BEFORE
MOVING MACHINE.
• USE A SIGNAL PERSON WHEN BACKING UP IF
YOUR VIEW IS OBSTRUCTED. ALWAYS KEEP THE
SIGNAL PERSON IN VIEW.
Use hand signals, which conform to your local
regulations, when work conditions require a signal
person.
• No machine motions shall be made unless signals are
clearly understood by both signalman and operator.
• Learn the meanings of all flags, signs, and markings
used on the job and confirm who has the responsibility
for signaling.
• Keep windows, mirrors, and lights clean and in good
condition.
• Dust, heavy rain, fog, etc., can reduce visibility. As
visibility decreases, reduce speed and use proper
lighting.
• Read and understand all operating instructions in the
operator's manual.
