Never work under overhangs or excavated bank areas. These could collapse and damage the machine or injure the operator. Do not approach too close to the edge of cliffs. When doing landfills or when dropping soil over a cliff, dump one pile then use the next pile of soil to push the first pile. The load suddenly becomes lighter when the soil is pushed over a cliff or when the machine reaches the top of a slope. When this happens, there is a danger that the travel speed will suddenly increase; be sure to reduce the speed. SAFETY Working Clearances It is always a good idea to be aware of the clearances around, in front of, behind, and especially above your work area or travel route.
Some basic safety precautions to prevent risk are: When working or traveling in an area where clearances are a problem, travel at a slow cautious speed. If you are not sure of your clearances, request the aid of another person who can guide or warn you if you get too close to objects. WA380-6 1-27
