SAFETY RULES
bles, pipes, bearing load limitations of ground, bridges,
floors or ramps.
- When roading, find-out what conditions are likely to be
encountered, clearances, traffic congestion, type of
road surfacing, etc. Beware of fog, smoke or dust
elements that obscure visibility.
- When crossing gullies or ditches, move at an angle with
reduced speed after ensuring ground conditions will
permit a safe traverse.
- Explore the working area to identify potential risks such
as: slopes, overhangs, pits, demolition rubble, fires,
ravines, ditches, soft terrain, heavy traffic, crowded
parking areas, closed ambients. In such conditions,
proceed with extreme care.
- Whenever possible, avoid going over obstacles such as
rough terrain, rocks, logs highly irregular ground, steps,
ditches, railroad tracks. When obstructions must be
crossed, do so with extreme care at an angle, if possible.
Reduce speed, shift-down. Ease up to the break over
point, pass the balance point slowly on the obstruction
and ease down on the other side.
- In steep down-hill operation, do not allow engine to overspeed.
Select proper gear before starting down grade.
- Avoid side hill travel, whenever possible. Drive up and
down the slope. Should the machine slipping sideways,
turn it immediately downhill.
