WARNING
Before operating backhoe, visually check digging site for utilities (gas lines,
power lines, water mains, etc.). Failure to do so could result in personnel
injury.
Keep clear of digging area to avoid being crushed by swinging boom.
Operate backhoe from operator's seat only. Any other method could result
in injury to operator or bystanders.
Do not dig around or under stabilizers. Reposition stabilizers to permit
digging when necessary to avoid undermining that could cause vehicle to
fall into excavation, resulting in serious personal injury.
When operating backhoe, keep both feet behind guards. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury.
Backhoe boom has wide swing capability. Before swinging backhoe to
either side, make sure area is clear of all personnel and obstructions to
prevent personnel injury.
Do not operate backhoe without bucket teeth to prevent personnel injury.
Always lower front loader to ground surface when operating backhoe to
increase stability. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
When operating backhoe on side of hill, dump earth from excavation on
highest side of excavation to prevent vehicle from overturning. Failure to do
so could result in serious personal injury.
Always face vehicle and use grabhandles and steps when mounting or
dismounting; do not jump from vehicle. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury.
Before operating earthmoving implements, make an operational check of all
controls in a clear area. Do not allow other personnel in area. Failure to do
so could result in personnel injury.
When operating basic tractor or earthmoving implements, know location of
all personnel at all times to prevent personnel injury.
Do not allow personnel to perform maintenance on front loader or backhoe
with buckets loaded and raised. Personnel outside vehicle must stand
clear of implements whenever operator is near controls of either backhoe or
front loader. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
Check all bolts daily before and after operation of earthmoving implements
to prevent personnel injury.
