GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! PROTECT AGAINST FLYING DEBRISAlways wear proper safety glasses, goggles, or a face shield when driving pins in or out, or when any operation causes dust, fl ying debris, or any other hazardous mate-rial.

WARNING! LOWER OR SUPPORT RAISED EQUIPMENTDo not work under raised booms without supporting them. Do not use support mate-rial made of concrete blocks, logs, buckets, barrels, or any other material that could suddenly collapse or shift positions. Make sure support material is solid, not de-cayed, warped, twisted, or tapered. Lower booms to ground level or on blocks. Lower booms and attachments to the ground before leaving the cab or operators station.

WARNING! USE CARE WITH HYDRAULIC FLUID PRESSUREHydraulic fl uid under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury or death. Hydraulic leaks under pressure may not be visible. Before connecting or dis-connecting hydraulic hoses, read your prime movers operators manual for detailed instructions on connecting and disconnecting hydraulic hoses or fi ttings.

Keep unprotected body parts, such as face, eyes, and arms as far away as possible from a suspected leak. Flesh injected with hydraulic fl uid may develop gangrene or other permanent disabilities.

If injured by injected fl uid, see a doctor at once. If your doctor is not familiar with this type of injury, ask him or her to research it immediately to determine proper treatment.

Wear safety glasses, protective clothing, and use a piece of cardboard or wood when searching for hydraulic leaks. DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS! SEE ILLUS-TRATION.
