11. LiftingRestriction/Counterweight Only The rear link on the counterweight should be used for the counterweight only. Do not lift the whole Machine by these counterweight links. This could cause serious injury or death Engine hood and engine hood parts can be hot while engine is running or immediately after engine shutdown. Hot parts or hot components can cause burns or personal injury. Hot Surface

12. LiftingRestriction/Counterweight Only The rear link on the counterweight should be used for the counterweight only. Do not lift the whole Machine by these counterweight links. This could cause serious injury or death Do not step in this area.. Dangerous Step Point

13. Restricted Operation Do not use the swing force to perform the following operations: Soil compaction Ground breaking Demolition Do not swing the machine while the bucket tips are in the soil. These operations will damage the boom, the stick, and the work tool and the operations will reduce the life of the equipment Do not use the dropping force of the bucket or work tool as a hammer. This will bring excessive force on the rear of the machine. Possible damage to the machine could result

14. Restricted Operation If the stick IN function is operated at full speed with a fully loaded bucket or heavy work tool attachment to the end of the cylinder stroke, excessive force will occur inside the stick cylinder. This action will reduce the life of the stick cylinder. To avoid this problem, always operate a stick IN function with moderate speed towards the end of cylinder stroke. When deep holes are dug, do not lower the boom so that the bottom side of the boom touches the ground. When deep holes are dug, do not allow the boom to interfere with the tracks.

15. Restricted Operation If the cylinder is operated at the end of the stroke during operations, excessive force will occur on the stopper on the inside of the cylinder. This will reduce the life of the cylinder and structures. To avoid this problem, always leave a small margin of play when the cylinder is operated. While the bucket is in the ground, do not use the travel force for any excavation. This operation will cause excessive force on the rear of the machine.

16. Travel in Water and Mud The machine can travel across a river only under the following conditions: The bed of the river is flat. The flow of the river is slow. The machine dips into the water only to the center of the track carrier roller (dimension A).. When working in or around any body of water, around a stream or river, or in conditions of heavy mud, be careful that the swing bearing, the swing drive gear, and the swivel joint do not dip into water, mud, sand, or gravel. If the swing bearing dips into water, mud, sand, or gravel, immediately grease the swing bearing until the used grease leaks from the outer circle of the swing bearing. Failure to carry out this procedure may cause premature wear in the swing bearing

17. Safe Parking Procedure 1.Position the boom over one side of the machine.. 2. Use boom down pressure in order to lift the track on one side off the ground. Operate the track in the forward direction. Then operate the track in reverse. Continue this procedure until the maximum amount of material is thrown off the track. 3. Lower the track onto the wood planks. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other track. 5.Clean the area around the carrier rollers and around the track rollers. 6. Lower the work tool onto a wood plank in order to prevent the work tool from touching the ground.

18. EXCAVATOR INSPECTION Always carry out pre-start safety and operational checks in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and company procedure. May include but not limited to - walk around, check of tracks, under carriage, boom structure and area around excavator. Operator shall check on the excavator ensure it is in good and function condition before operating the excavator. Excavator inspection checklist shall be used to check the excavator condition at least twice a month. Proper records of inspection should be maintained.

19. UPPER STRUCTURE Check for proper hydraulic fluid level. Refer to the operator’s manual for the correct position of the boom, stick & bucket for the measurement. Inspect all lights to ensure proper working order. Check the hydraulic system, pumps, hoses, lines and cylinders, for leaks.

20. BOOM AND STICK

21. TRACK SYSTEM Drive SprocketFront Idlers Inspect the sprocket for worn or cracked teeth. Check drive for leaks and damage. Inspect the front idlers for wear and damage.

22. CLIMBING ON AND OFF THE EXCAVATOR When climbing on and off the machine, the operator should always face the machine. Use the three-point contact method when climbing: Two hands and a foot or Two feet and a hand

23. SITE SAFETY EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR SELF AND THE OTHER PERSON

24. FOR SAFE OPERATION:

25. Always work facing the excavator. Never assume the operator can always see you. Attend the walkie talkie safe operating procedure briefing before using it. Excavator operator and workers should be familiar with the blind spots of the excavator. Safe approach zone for an excavator.

26. MOVING UP A SLOPE If the slope is too steep and the material is loose, the rear of the machine may settle allowing the excavator to roll over backwards. Keeping the boom and stick extended will help distribute the load on the tracks more evenly which improves traction. If the excavator is unable to continue to climb due to slope, set the teeth of the bucket into the slope and start pulling the machine with the stick.

27. MOVING UP A SLOPE When the excavator comes close to the top of the slope, reach out with the stick and boom and sink the teeth into the ground beyond the crest of the slope. Continue to pull the machine up until it wants to tip forward. Lower the front of the machine with the boom and continue to tack from the slope.

28. MOVING DOWN A SLOPE When the center of the excavator is at the crest of the slope, raise the boom slightly to see if the machine will tilt forward. If not, slowly track forward and try again. Raise the bucket off the surface of the slope and see if the tracks will hold the machine on the slope. If the tracks will hold the machine, continue tracking down the slope with the bucket slightly off of the ground.

29. HAND SIGNALS

31. Before starting to excavate, assess the situation: What will be the maximum depth of the excavation? Where will the spoil be placed? How will the excavation be backfilled and with what material? Assess soil condition and its ability to support the excavator? EXCAVATING

32. Call Before You Dig! Before starting an excavation of any type, it is important to determine if there are any underground utilities in the area. Contact one of your local utility companies or search the Internet for the number. Representatives from these companies will come to your work site and mark the location of these utilities. EXCAVATING
