Failure to use a ground guide can result in an accident, causing injury or death to personnel or damage to equipment. Always use a ground guide when driving the machine in congested areas and up and down ramps in preparation for highway, marine, or air transport. Ground guide must DP99999,00003BA -19-06MAR08-1/1 Avoid Work Site Hazards Avoid contact with gas lines, buried cables, and water lines. Call utility line location services to identify all underground utilities before starting work. Prepare work site properly. Avoid operating near structures or objects that could fall onto the machine. Clear away debris that could move unexpectedly if run over.
T139002 —UN—05MAR01 Avoid boom or attachment contact with overhead obstacles or overhead electrical lines. Never move machine closer than 3 m (10 ft) plus twice the line insulator length to overhead wires. Keep bystanders clear at all times. Keep bystanders away from raised booms, attachments, and unsupported loads. Avoid swinging or raising booms, attachments, or loads over or near personnel. Use barricades or a signal person to keep vehicles and pedestrians away. Use a signal person if moving machine in congested areas or where visibility is restricted. Always keep signal person in view.

Contact With Gas Line T139003 —UN—05MAR01 Operate only on solid footing with strength sufficient to support machine. Be especially alert working near embankments or excavations. Avoid working under over-hanging embankments or stockpiles that could collapse under or on machine. Only on Solid Footing Reduce machine speed when operating with tool on or near ground when obstacles may be hidden (e.g., during snow removal or clearing mud, dirt, etc.). At high speeds, hitting obstacles (rocks, uneven concrete, or manholes) can cause a sudden stop. Always wear your seat belt.
