PROTECTION FROM FALLING OR FLYING OBJECTS On work sites where there is danger that falling objects or flying objects may hit the operator's cab select a guard to match the operating conditions to protect the operator. Work in mines, tunnels, deep pits or on loose or wet surfaces could produce danger of falling rock, roll over or hazardous flying objects. Additional protection for operator’s cab could be required in form of a FOPS/Falling Object Protective Structure and/or ROPS/Roll Over Protective Structure reinforcement system.
HAOA110L Figure 9 Any reinforcement system that is installed on machine must pass safety and certification standards and carry appropriate labeling and rating information. For example, most often added type of reinforcement system, FOPS, must meet or exceed Society of Automotive Engineers standard SAE J1356, "Performance Criteria for Falling Object Guards for Wheel loaders." Never attempt to alter or modify any type of protective structure reinforcement system, by drilling holes, welding or remounting or relocating fasteners. Any serious impact or damage to system requires a complete integrity reevaluation. Reinstallation, recertification and/ or replacement of system may be necessary.
HAOA100L Figure 10 INSTALL ADDITIONAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT IF CONDITIONS REQUIRE Laminate glass protection for the front, side or rear windows may also be recommended depending upon particular site conditions. Contact your Daewoo distributor for available safety guards and/or recommendations if there is any danger of getting hit by objects that could strike the operator’s cab. Make sure that all other work site crew members are kept well away from wheel loader and safe from potential hazards. MAINTAIN STANDARD SAFETY EQUIPMENT IN GOOD CONDITION Machinery guards and body panel covers must be in place at all times. Keep well clear of rotating parts.
Pinch point hazards such as cooling fan and alternator drive belts could catch hair, jewelry or oversize or very loose clothing. Safety labels must be replaced if they are damaged or become unreadable. Information on labels gives work crew members an important safety reminder. Part numbers for each decal and required mounting locations are shown on pages 1-2 through 1-4 of this section. S0103010K Page 12 Wheel Loader Safety
