WARNING

OPERATIONAL SAFETY

Know the Work Area

Check clearances in the work area. Keep all bystanders at a safe distance. Do not work under
obstacles. Always check your location for overhead and buried power lines or other utilities before
operation.

Check ground conditions. Avoid unstable or slippery areas. Position the carrier on rm level

ground. If level ground is not possible, position the carrier to use the attachment to the front or
back of the carrier. Avoid working over the side of the carrier.

To reduce the risk of tipping and slipping, never park on a grade exceeding 10% (one-foot rise
over the span of a ten-foot run).

Starting Procedure

Before operating, walk completely around the equipment to make certain no one is under it, on it
or close to it. Keep all bystanders at least 75 feet away from the area of operation and equipment
movement. Let all other workers and bystanders know you are preparing to start. DO NOT operate
until everyone is clear.

Always be properly seated in the operator’s seat before operating any carrier controls.

To start:

3 Make sure all controls are in the center (neutral) position.
3 Be properly seated.
3 Slowly operate all functions to check for proper operation and to bleed air from the hydrau-

lic system.

To shut down:

3 Return your Genesis attachment to a rest position on the ground.
3 Shut off the carrier engine.
3 Work controls in all directions to relieve hydraulic pressure, per excavator manufacturer’s

instructions.

Serious injury or death could result if warnings or
instructions regarding safe operation are not followed
properly.

Place the Load Safely

Do not move the attachment, or anything held in the jaws, over people, equipment or buildings. Do
not throw or drop the contents. Operate the controls smoothly and gradually.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY

Safely Operate Equipment

Do not operate equipment until you are trained by a qualied operator in its use and capabilities.

See your carrier’s manual for these instructions.

3 Operate only from the operator’s seat. Check the seat belt daily and replace if frayed or

damaged.

3 Do not operate this or any other equipment under the inuence of drugs or alcohol. If you

are taking prescription medication or over-the-counter drugs ask your medical provider
whether you can safely operate equipment.

3 Never leave equipment unattended with the engine running or with the attachment in a

raised position. Apply the brakes before exiting the equipment.

3 Do not exceed the lifting capacity of your carrier.

3 Avoid conditions that can lead to tipping. The carrier can tip when operated on hills, ridges,

banks and slopes. Avoid operating across a slope which could cause the carrier to overturn.

3 Reduce speed when driving over rough terrain, on a slope, or when

turning to avoid overturning the carrier.

3 Never use the attachment as a work platform or personnel carrier.

3 Keep all step plates, grab bars, pedals and controls free of dirt, grease,

debris and oil.

3 Never allow anyone to be around the equipment when it is operating.

3 Do not operate poorly maintained or otherwise faulty equipment. Inform the proper authority

and DO NOT resume operation until the problem has been xed.

3 Do not alter or remove any safety features.

3 Know your work site safety rules as well as trafc rules and ow. When

in doubt on any safety issue, contact your supervisor or safety coordi­nator for an explanation.

3 A heavy load can cause equipment instability. Use extreme care during travel. Slow down

on turns and watch out for bumps. The equipment may need additional counter-weights to
counterbalance the weight of the attachment.

DANGER

OPERATIONAL SAFETY

Transporting the Attachment

3 Travel only with the attachment in a safe transport position to prevent uncontrolled move-

ment. Drive slowly over rough ground and on slopes.

3 When driving on public roads use safety lights, reectors, Slow Moving Vehicle signs, etc.,

to prevent accidents. Check local government regulations that may affect you.

3 Do not drive close to ditches, excavations, etc., as cave-in could result.
3 Do not smoke when refueling the prime mover. Allow room in the fuel tank for expansion.

Wipe up any spilled fuel. Secure cap tightly when done.

Equipment Condition

Never operate poorly maintained equipment. When maintenance is required, repair or replace
parts immediately.

Serious injury or death could result if warnings or instruc­tions regarding working overhead are not followed prop­erly.

Working Overhead

Avoid handling material overhead whenever possible. Safety glass and wire mesh

cab guarding must be installed to protect the operator from ying debris that may be

created during handling. Falling Object Protection Structures, or FOPS, are neces­sary for any application where material is to be handled overhead.

Serious injury or death will result if warnings or instructions
regarding power lines are not followed properly.

Power Lines

Do not operate the machine near energized power lines. All local, state/provincial and federal
regulations must be met before approaching power lines, overhead or under­ground cables, or power sources of any kind with any part of the carrier or
attachment. Always contact the appropriate utility when operating near power
lines. The lines should be moved, insulated, disconnected or de-energized
and grounded before operating in the area.

Current in high voltage lines may arc some distance from the wire to a nearby ground. Keep all parts
of the machine at least 50 feet (16m) away from power lines.

WARNING

OPERATIONAL SAFETY

Serious injury or death could result if warnings or instruc-

tions regarding hydraulic uid pressure are not followed

properly.

Use Care with Hydraulic Fluid Pressure

Hydraulic uid under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury or death.

Hydraulic leaks under pressure may not be visible.

3 Keep unprotected body parts, such as face, eyes and arms as far away

as possible from a suspected leak. Flesh injected with hydraulic uid may

develop gangrene or other permanent injuries.

3 If injured by injected uid see a doctor immediately.

3 Wear safety glasses and protective clothing and use a piece of cardboard

or wood when searching for hydraulic leaks.

Do Not Use Your Hands!

See illustration below.

3 Hydraulic oil becomes hot during operation. Do not let hydraulic oil or com-

ponents contact skin, as it could cause severe burns. Allow hydraulic com­ponents to cool before working on them. Use appropriate protective clothing
and safety equipment. If burned, seek immediate medical attention.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY

!

DANGER

Prioritized Oil Flow

Equipment operators must ensure there is prioritized oil ow to the main valves in overhead op­erations or high reach conditions.

Emergency Situations

Always be prepared for emergencies. Make sure a re extinguisher is available.
Be familiar with its operation. Make sure to inspect and service the re extinguisher
regularly. Make sure a rst aid kit is readily available.

Unsafe Conditions

Do not operate if an unsafe condition exists. Stop operation immediately, shut down the machine
and report the unsafe condition to the proper authority. Equipment operation and maintenance
practices directly affect your safety and the safety of those around you. Always use common
sense while operating and be alert to unsafe conditions.

Crystalline Silica Dust

It is recommended to use dust suppression, dust collection and if necessary, personal protective
equipment during the operation of any attachment that may cause high levels of dust.

Exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust along with
other hazardous dusts may cause serious or fatal respira­tory disease.

IMPORTANT: Concrete and masonry products contain silica sand.
Quartz, which is a form of silica and the most common mineral in the
Earth’s crust, is associated with many types of rock.

Some activities that may have silica dust present in the air include
demolition, sweeping, loading, sawing, hammering, drilling or planing of
rock, concrete or masonry.

It is recommended to use dust suppression (such as water) or dust col­lection (such as a vacuum) along with personal protective equipment if
necessary during the operation of any attachment that may cause high
levels of silica dust.

WARNING

OPERATIONAL SAFETY

Using your Genesis attachment in unauthorized applica­tions may create an unsafe situation and will void the war­ranty.

Process Material Safely

• Do not process hardened steel material such as tool steel, railroad rail, axles or machined

parts. Hardened material breaks, rather than shears, which may cause ying debris. It will also

cause damaging decompression spikes to your Genesis attachment and base carrier hydrau­lic systems.

• Do not operate any functions of the carrier while cutting or crushing with your Genesis attach­ment, including boom and drive functions.

• Do not pull down structures with your Genesis attachment. Doing so may cause falling debris
or material may break free and exceed the capacities of the carrier, causing a tipping hazard.

• The rotator should only be used for positioning your Genesis attachment. Do not use the rota­tor to pry or break material.

Lift the Load Safely

• The hydraulic system has been preset and tested by your dealer. Do not alter hydraulic set­tings without consulting an authorized Genesis dealer or the Genesis Service Department.
Doing so will void the warranty and may cause structural damage, accidents or tipping.

• Make sure the load is held securely in the jaws. Do not move a loaded attachment if load is
loose or dangling. Make sure the load is pinched between the jaws – never cradle a load.

• For greater stability, knuckle the attachment to bring the load closer to the center of rotation
(center of gravity) while lifting. Use extra caution during reaching to avoid tipping.

Place the Load Safely

• Do not move the attachment, or anything held in the jaws, over people, equipment or build­ings. Place the load gently. Do not throw or drop the contents.

• Operate the controls smoothly and gradually. Jerky controls are hazardous and may cause
damage to the carrier.

• Avoid re hazards. Keep the area clean. Remove all ammable materials from the area during

any welding or heating process. Have a re extinguisher nearby and know how to use it.

• Never substitute pins or bolts. Use factory supplied pins. Replace all bolts with the same size
and grade. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or death.

• Use your Genesis attachment only as directed in this manual. Do not use the attachment to lift
and move other objects. Doing so may cause instability and tipping.
