INJURY FROM WORK EQUIPMENT Do not enter or put your hand, arm or any other part of your body between movable parts, such as between the work equipment and cylinders, or between the machine and work equipment. If the control levers are operated, the clearance between the machine and the work equipment will change and this may lead to serious damage or personal injury. If going between movable parts is necessary, always position and secure the work equipment so that it cannot move. HDO1010L Figure 7 FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND FIRST AID KIT As a precaution if any injury or fire should occur, always do the following.
Be sure that fire extinguishers have been provided and read the labels to ensure that you know now to use them. It is recommended that an appropriately sized (2.27 kg [5 lb] or larger) multipurpose "A/B/C" fire extinguisher be mounted in the cab. Check and service the fire extinguisher at regular intervals and make sure that all work site crew members are adequately trained in its use. HDO1009L Figure 8 Provide a first aid kit in the storage compartment and keep another at the work site. Check the kit periodically and make any additions if necessary. Know what to do in case of injury from fire. Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance service, hospital and fire department near your telephone.
If the machine catches fire, it may lead to serious personal injury or death. If a fire occurs during operation, escape from the machine as follows; Turn the starter switch "OFF" and stop the engine. If there is time, use the fire extinguisher to extinguish as much of the fire as possible. Use the handrails and steps to escape from the machine. The above is the basic method for escaping from the machine, but changing the method may be necessary according to the conditions, so carry out practice drills at the work site.
