Clean Up
Clean windows, lights, mirrors, and safety signs.
Make sure the operator's area, steering levers, pedals,
joysticks, steps, and grab handles are clean. Oil, grease,
snow, ice, mud, or debris in these areas could cause
you to slip and fall, or lose control of the machine. Clean
your boots of excess mud before entering the machine.
Remove all personal items or other objects from the
operator's area. Secure these items in a toolbox or
remove them from the machine.
Use Caution When Fueling
WARNING! Avoid injury from fi re or explosion.
Never fi ll the fuel tank in poorly ventilated areas,
with the engine running, while smoking, or when
near an open fl ame.
Never overfi ll the tank or spill fuel. If fuel is spilled, clean
it up immediately.
Be sure to use the correct type and grade of fuel.
Ground the fuel funnel or nozzle against the fi ller neck to
prevent sparks that could ignite fuel vapors. Be sure to
replace the fuel fi ll cap (if equipped) when you are done.
Know the Working Area
Learn as much about your working area as possible.
Check at Ground or Floor Level
Inspect the surface over which you will travel. Look for
holes, drop-offs and obstacles. Look for rough spots
or hidden obstacles on surfaces which could cause
a collision or loss of control. Look for weak spots on
docks, ramps or fl oors. Look for oil spills, wet spots,
and slippery surfaces. Look for soft soil, deep mud or
standing water. Watch for anything that might make you
lose control or cause the machine to roll over.
When operating inside a building, make certain you are
within weight limitations of fl oors and ramps. Be aware of
overhead clearances, doorways, aisles, etc. Plan travel
routes ahead of time, in order to make sure you can see and
protect bystanders. Pick up debris that can puncture tires.
Be observant of other workers, bystanders, and other
machines in the area.
Remember, the danger of sliding and/or tipping on
steep slopes is always present, regardless of how heavy
or stable your machine may appear to be. Always use
seat belts if a ROPS is equipped.

Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD)
Fuel Hazard
Avoid Static Electricity Risk When Fueling
WARNING! Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) poses a
greater static ignition hazard than earlier diesel
formulations with higher sulfur content. Avoid death or
serious injury from fi re or explosion; consult with your
fuel or fuel system supplier to ensure the delivery
system is in compliance with fueling standards for
proper grounding and bonding practices.
Check Overhead
Check the clearances of doorways, canopies, and
overheads. Know exactly how much clearance you have
under power and telephone cables.
DANGER! Contact with energized power lines will
cause serious injury or death. Never approach
overhead power lines with any part of your machine
unless all local, state/provincial and national (OSHA)
required safety precautions have been taken. Always
use extreme caution around power lines.
Know your margin of safety. If possible, have power
to lines disconnected. If not possible, request a signal
person for guidance.
DANGER! Electrocution will result from touching or
being near a machine that is in contact with, or near, an
electrical source. Stay away from any machine in
contact with electrical wires until you are told it is
safe to approach.
Static discharge
during fueling can
cause explosion
