Precautions For Lightning
 The machine is vulnerable to lightning strikes.
 In the event of an electrical storm, immediately stop
operation, 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
machine safety devices for any failure. If any failed
safety devices are found, operate the machine only after
repairing them.
Object Handling
 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
travel motors at the rear.
 When using the machine for craning operations, always
park the machine on a solid and level ground.
 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.
