Safety

DANGER
There may be buried power, gas, and/or telephone
lines in the work area. An electric shock or an
explosion may occur if you dig into a utility line.
Have the property or work area marked for buried
lines and do not dig in marked areas. Contact your
local marking service or utility company to have the
property marked (for example, in the United States,
call 811 for the nationwide marking service).
WARNING
When going up or down hill, the machine could
overturn if the heavy end is toward the downhill
side. Someone may be pinned or seriously injured
by the machine if it overturns.
Operate up and down slopes with the heavy end of
the machine uphill. An attached backhoe will make
the front end heavy.
WARNING
Lightning can cause severe injury or death.
If lightning is seen or thunder is heard in the area,
do not operate the machine; seek shelter.
CAUTION
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid injected into
the skin must be surgically removed within a few
hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury;
otherwise, gangrene may result.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin-hole
leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks;
never use your hands.
