Cellboost 999-823 manual Safety Precautions

Safety Precautions

•If the unit should begin to tip or become unstable, DO NOT try to stabilize the unit with your legs or arms.

•If the unit is involved in an accident or inadvertently damaged during operation, stop and perform a thorough inspection. Make sure the unit is in safe operating condition prior to resuming work.

•Be alert to any unusual reaction to any of the controls. If anything unusual is noticed, shut the machine down and thoroughly inspect it to determine the cause of the problem. Do not operate the machine until all required repairs have been made.

•If the unit must be left unattended, shut the machine down and make sure that it can not be started by an unauthorized individual.

•Operating on steep slopes can be dangerous and there is a greater risk of the machine tipping over or becoming unstable. The list of rules below must be understood and followed for maximum safety:

–Avoid excessively steep slopes or unstable surfaces. If travel on a slope is necessary, keep the load low and proceed with extreme caution.

–DO NOT travel ACROSS excessively steep slopes under any circumstances.

–Travel straight up and down slopes with the heavy end of the machine pointing up the incline. When the machine has no load, the operator's platform end of the machine is considered the heavy end.

–Turning on slopes is not a recommended practice, however if you must turn on slopes; reduce travel speed to as slow as possible, and exercise extreme caution. Avoid sharp turns or sudden movements.

–Wet or slick ground conditions should be avoided as reduced traction could cause the machine to slide down the slope.

–Never park the unit on a slope.
