WORK SAFELY – FOLLOW THESE RULES

This symbol and text with bold letters is used throughout this manual to call your attention to instructions concerning your personal safety. Observe and follow these instructions. Be certain anyone operating and servicing this machine is aware of these rules. Failure to follow these rules may result in injury or death.

WARNING: The machine can only be operated by a person who is familiar with this manual, knows operation of the machine and its mechanisms, experienced and properly licensed to operate such machines. Carefully observe and follow all instructions provided in this manual.

The instructions and information given in this section do not cover all you ought to know to operate the machine safely. Detailed instructions regarding operational safety appear in the following sections of this manual.

Human error is an important factor in most equipment-related injuries. Haste, carelessness and lack of training are the primary causes of injuries.

Most operating injuries occur because of excessive speed, loss of control, failure to observe warning signs, slipping or falling while entering for dismounting, a lack of barms on roadways or piles, lack of a ROPS or seat belt, or not watching in the direction of travel.

Most maintenance injuries occur during welding or when using hammers or wrenches. The most common faults are improper work position, a slipped tool, missed aim, a broken tool, flying chips and no welding hood.

Think before you act. A careful operator or maintenance man is the best insurance against an accident.

Always wear proper safety equipment.

Avoid wearing jewelry and loose fitting clothing; they could catch on moving parts, which could result in serious injury or death. Hard hat, sturdy rough-soled work shoes or safety shoes, ear protectors, reflective clothing, safety glasses and heavy gloves may be required. Consult your employer for specific safety equipment requirements.

Each job site and application may have personal safety requirements. Carefully evaluate your particular application and machine for equipment such as heater and defroster, all windshield wipers, warning lights, side view and rearview mirrors, back-up alarms, fire extinguisher, rotating beacons and additional lights. If in doubt, contact your distributor.

The machine should be equipped with a fully charged fire extinguisher. All personnel should be instructed in fire extinguisher proper usage. Recharge immediately after use.

If a machine is equipped with a GRAMMER operator’s seat, the fire extinguisher is placed in a operator’s cab to right of his seat. Fig. 2.1 shows the fire extinguisher location.

GENERAL

1.Turn the electrical master switch to the OFF position.

2.Attach one end of jumper cable to the positive terminal of booster battery and other end to the

positive terminal of machine battery.

3. Attach one end of second cable to the negative terminal of booster battery and other end to the machine's frame away from the battery.

4. To remove cables, reverse above sequence exactly to avoid sparks near the battery.

A frozen battery can explode when the booster cables are attached.

NEVER check battery charge by placing a metal object across the battery posts. The sparks could cause an explosion. Use a voltmeter or areometer for checking. Every machine is factory equipped with a fire extinguisher, first aid kit and safety belt.

2.2. BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

Never start the engine indoors unless proper exhaust ventilation is provided to remove deadly exhaust gases. Once the engine is operating, move the machine outdoors as soon as possible. Exhaust gases are dangerous and can cause unconscious-ness and death.

Always place the gear selector in neutral, apply neutral safety lock and lock the parking brake before starting the engine.

The operator must be alert, physically fit and free from the influences of alcohol, drugs or medications that might affect his eyesight, hearing, reactions or judgement.

Observe and know the use of alternate exits from the operator compartment.

Safety must always be the operator's most important concern. He must refuse to operate when he knows it is unsafe and consult his supervisor when safety is in doubt. The best safety device is a safe operator.

Do not use controls or hoses as hand holds when climbing on or off the machine. Hoses and controls can move and do not provide solid support. Movement of the controls may cause inadvertent and unexpected movement of the machine or its equipment.

Follow all machine-mounted safety signs before starting, operating, maintaining or servicing the machine.

Be sure the area of the operator's compartment, all mounting steps and grab handles are free of oil, grease, loose objects, ice and mud to lessen the possibility of slipping. Remove or secure all maintenance and personal items so they will not interfere with the operator or jam the controls.

Perform a visual check of the machine before starting the engine. Look for such things as improper fluid levels, oil leaks, and loose, damaged or missing parts. Do not start the engine until any unsafe conditions are corrected. Secure all caps and filler plugs.

Know and understand the traffic flow patterns of your job and obey flagman, signs and signals.

MAINTENANCE

Loosen the filler cap slowly to relieve the pressure to prevent possible injury. Always vent the hydraulic system before working on any hydraulic component.

Have all equipment resting on the ground and relieve all hydraulic system pressure by moving control lever in various directions before removing any hydraulic component.

Never work beneath the blade and/ or ripper without proper blocking. Improper blocking could result in serious injuries.

When service or maintenance requires access to areas that cannot be reached from the ground, use a ladder or platform. If such ladders or platforms are not available, use the machine hand holds and steps provided. Perform all service or maintenance carefully.

Use only approved parts for repairs and maintenance show in your parts catalog. Failure to do so could compromise your personal safety and machine performance and reliability.

Never align holes with fingers or hands. Use a proper aligning tool.

Be sure all used tools are in good condition. Do not use tools which are worn, bent or have mushroomed heads. Use the proper tool for the job. Remove sharp edges and burrs from reworked parts.

For field service, move machine to level ground if possible and blocks the tracks. If work is absolutely necessary on an incline, block the machine and its attachments securely. Move the machine to level ground as soon as possible

Before working on the machine, turn OFF the electrical system master switch and remove the starting switch key so no one will start it unexpectedly.

Do not carry loose objects in pockets that might catch on the machine or fall unnoticed into open compartments.

Before working on any part of the engine or electrical system, disconnect the battery ground cable. Tag the cable and all controls to alert personnel that work is in progress.

When it is necessary to make any checks or adjustments with the engine operating, always use two people. One trained person must be in the operator's seat to safeguard the second person making the checks or adjustment.

As an added precaution, when making checks or adjustments with the engine operating, make sure the transmission shift lever is locked in neutral (N), and the parking brake is locked.

Never stand on the tracks or near the blade while the engine is operating.

If the engine is running and the side doors are open or removed be careful of rotating parts such as the fan and belts that can cause serious injury.

Use a non-toxic, nonflammable commercial solvent for cleaning parts, unless otherwise specified. Never use gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene or other flammable solvents for cleaning part.

MAINTENANCE

Excessive or repeated skin contact with sealant or solvents may cause skin irritation. In case of skin contact, remove sealant or solvent promptly by washing with soap and water. Follow the manufacturer’s advice whenever cleaning agents or other chemicals are used.

Lower blade and ripper before making hydraulic adjustments. To prevent personal injury, be sure no personnel are standing in the way of the blade and/or ripper when it is being lowered.

Never allow anyone to walk under or be near unblocked raised equipment.

Provide proper ventilation when operating in a closed building to avoid danger of exhaust gases. Exhaust gases are dangerous and can cause unconsciousness and death.

Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure from a very small hole can be almost invisible, yet have sufficient force to penetrate the skin. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for suspected leaks. Do not use hands. If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can occur if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.

Wear proper protective equipment such as goggles or safety glasses with side shields, hard hat, safety shoes and heavy gloves when metal or other particles are apt to fly or fall.

Lift and handle all heavy parts with a lifting device of proper capacity. Be sure parts are secured by proper slings and hooks. Use lifting eyes if provided. Warn people in the area to stand clear.

Do not attempt to repair a protective structure after an accident. Repaired structures do not provide the original strength and protection. Contact your distributor for information on structure replacement. Do not operate the machine again until the ROPS has been replaced.

When using compressed air for cleaning parts, wear goggles or safety glasses with side shields. Use a air nozzle, which limits the pressure to 200 kPa.

Do not use an open flame to check for leaks or fluid levels anywhere around the machine.

Keep work area clean and dry. Remove oil and water spills immediately.

Do not pile up oily or greasy rags. They are a fire hazard. Store them in an approved, closed metal container.

Use a soft iron or nonferrous hammer to install or remove ripper teeth. It is dangerous to hammer on the teeth. Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles to reduce the chances of injury.

Batteries give off a highly inflammable gas. Never allow sparks or open flame near the batteries. A fire or explosion could occur. Do not charge batteries in a closed area. Provide proper ventilation to guard against accidental explosion of an accumulation of the explosive gas given off in the charging process.

When installing batteries, be sure the electrical master switch is in the "off" position. Be sure to connect the positive cable to the positive terminal and the negative (ground) cable to the negative terminal.

Ether starting fluid is flammable. Follow the precautions printed on the container. An explosion can result if sparks or flame contact the ether in the container or if the container is stored in an area in which the temperature exceeds 70°C. Observe the following precautions:

7.Never puncture the fluid container or put it into a fire. Dispose of empty container properly.

8.Do not store fluid containers in the operator's compartment.

Never mix gasoline, gasohol or alcohol with diesel fuel. This creates an extreme fire or explosion hazard, which could result in personal injury or death.

Do not use bleach, color dye or solvents on the seat belt webbing. This may cause a severe loss of tensile strength. This could cause the webbing to break resulting in personal injury. It is recommended that the seat belt be cleaned only with warm water and mild detergent.

2.5. WHEN PARKING

If parking on or near traffic lanes cannot be avoided, provide appropriate flags, barriers, flares and warning signals. Also provide advance-warning signals in the traffic lane for approaching traffic. Park the machine in a non-operating and non-traffic area. Park machine on level ground whenever possible. If you must park on a slope, park at right angles to the slope. Apply and lock the brake pedal.

Never leave the machine unattended with the engine running.

When leaving the machine unattended, slowly lower the hydraulic equipment to the ground, shift the transmission into neutral and lock the neutral lock lever, shut off the engine, apply and lock the parking brake. Relieve any pressure in the hydraulic system by moving the controls in both directions. Turn off the electrical system master switch and take it out. Always lock up machine when leaving it unattended, including any anti-vandalism attachments.

Do not jump off the machine.

When operating in bad weather and storm lightening is nearby, dismount and seek shelter away from the machine. Lightening will be attracted to the machine and can cause serious injury or death.

When the machine is to be loaded onto a transport truck and trailer do so carefully. Load only when the trailer is level. The steel track shoes will slide easily on the trailer. When the machine is properly positioned chain it securely and block with wooden pieces so it can not move on the trailer.

Keep your head, body, legs, hand, fingers away from the blade and ripper when they are in a raised position.

Do not allow the hydraulic system to support the mounted equipment without its proper blocking when leaving the machine unattended, to eliminate the possibility of an expected drop of the blade or ripper.
