Avoid Injury from Back-Over Accidents
• If any person is present near the machine when backing
the machine, the machine may hit or run over that person,
resulting in serious injury or death.
To avoid back-over accidents:
• Always look around BEFORE YOU BACK UP THE MACHINE.
BE SURE THAT ALL BYSTANDERS ARE CLEAR.
• Keep the travel alarm in working condition (if equipped).
ALWAYS BE ALERT FOR BYSTANDERS MOVING INTO THE
WORK AREA. USE THE HORN OR OTHER SIGNAL TO WARN
BYSTANDERS BEFORE MOVING MACHINE.
• USE A SIGNAL PERSON WHEN BACKING UP IF YOUR VIEW
IS OBSTRUCTED. ALWAYS KEEP THE SIGNAL PERSON IN
VIEW.
• Use hand signals, which conform to your local regulations,
when work conditions require a signal person.
• No machine motions shall be made unless signals are
clearly understood by both signal person and operator.
• Learn the meanings of all flags, signs, and markings used
on the job and confirm who has the responsibility for
signaling.
• Keep windows, mirrors, and lights clean and in good
condition.
• Dust, heavy rain, fog, etc., can reduce visibility. As visibility
decreases, reduce speed and use proper lighting.
• Read and understand all operating instructions in the
operator's manual.
Keep Person Clear from Working Area
• A person may be hit severely by the machine and/or may be
crushed against another object, resulting in serious injury or
death.
• Keep all persons clear from the area of operation and
machine movement.
• Before operating the machine, set up barriers to the sides
and rear area of the working area to prevent anyone from
entering the work area.
