SAFETY DIGGING HARD ROCKY GROUND Do not attempt to directly excavate hard rocky ground with the work equipment. It is better to excavate it after breaking it up by some other means. This will not only save the machine from damage but will make for better economy. SUDDEN LEVER SHIFTING HIGH SPEED TRAVEL Never carry out sudden lever shifting, this may cause sudden starting. Avoid sudden lever shifting from forward (A) to reverse (B) (or from reverse (B) to forward (A) snapping). Avoid sudden lever shifting change such as sudden stopping from near top speed (lever release operation).
WORKING CLEARANCES It is always a good idea to be aware of your clearances around, in front, behind and especially above your work area or travel rout. 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. Be aware of the dangers when working around overhead electrical lines, high humidity may pose an electrical hazard even if your machine clears the overhead power lines.
If your machine should come in contact with overhead electrical lines, stop the machine and remain on the machine until the power company clears the lines and it is safe to get off or move the machine. If you must leave the machine, jump free of the machine (do not touch it) do not allow anyone on the ground to touch the machine. If low power lines pose a greater hazard, ask the power company to remove the lines until your work is finished. 1-26 PC400LC-7E0 Cable Voltage Min.
