75CBH 11/11 Safety Section 1-9

SAFETY

Never walk or work under any raised boom or bucket. The Boom could fall and cause

serious bodily injury or death. Always lower the boom and bucket flat on the ground or

support the Boom and bucket on safety stands. Unload all hydraulic actuators prior to

performing any maintenance. To do this, set the bucket on the ground then kill the tractor

engine. Push and pull the control levers in and out several times to remove pressure. Do

not work under raised Boom or Bucket unless components are securely blocked up to

prevent inadvertent dropping.

(SBH-7)

Avoid contact with hot surfaces including hydraulic oil tanks, pumps, motors, valves and

hose connections. Relieve hydraulic pressure before performing maintenance or repairs.

Use gloves and eye protection when servicing hot components. Contact with a hot surface

or fluid can cause serious injury from burns or scalding.

(SG-34)

Avoid contact with hot surfaces of the engine or muffler. Use gloves and eye protection

when servicing hot components. Contact with a hot surface or fluid can cause serious injury

from burns or scalding.

(SG-38)

Be sure you have adequate knowledge of the property you will be working on. Take time to

make yourself aware of any area underground lines or cables. Contact with buried lines or

cable could result in serious injury or death. If in doubt about buried utility lines call 811

before digging or 1-800-258-0808.

(SBH-6)

Do not let the Backhoe or attachment contact electrical power

lines. Contact with electrical power lines can result in serious

injury or electrocution. If the backhoe attachment contacts a

power line remain in the tractor seat until the power has been

shut off. Stepping off the tractor can permit electrical current

to pass through the body resulting in electrocution.

(SBH-17)

The Boom is designed only to position and operate the Bucket which is attached to it. Never

attempt to lift, pull, or push other solid objects with the boom or bucket. Serious injury could

result from a structural failure when the Boom is used for purposes other than those for

which it was designed.

(SBH-9)

Never attach pulling devices to the rear of the backhoe. The unit could tip rearwards

causing serious injury or even death.

(SBH-10)

Do not use Backhoe as a jack to raise the tractor tires off the ground. The Backhoe could

fail causing the tractor and Backhoe to fall to the ground resulting in serious injury.
