Tire Safety

Tire changing can be dangerous and should be performed by trained personnel using the correct tools and equipment.

When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.

When removing and installing wheels, use wheel handling equipment adequate for the weight involved.

Wear

Protective Equipment

Protective clothing and equipment should be worn.

Wear clothing and equipment appropriate for the job. Avoid loose fitting clothing.

Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause hearing impairment or hearing loss. Wear suitable hearing protection such as earmuffs or earplugs.

Operating equipment safely requires the full attention of the operator. Avoid wearing radio headphones while operating machinery.

Avoid High

Pressure Fluids Hazard

Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.

Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines or performing work on the system.

Make sure all hydraulic fluid connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the system.

Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for suspected leaks.

Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems.

If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be treated within a few hours or gangrene may result.

Keep Riders

Off Machinery

Riders obstruct the operator’s view, they could be struck by foreign objects or thrown from the machine.

Never allow children to operate equipment.
