SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Tool operators and maintenance personnel must always comply with the safety precautions given in this manual and on the stickers and tags attached to the machine.
These safety precautions are given for your safety. Re- view them carefully before operating the machine and before performing general maintenance or routine ser- vice.
Supervising personnel should develop additional pre- cautions relating to the specific work area and local safety regulations. If so, place the added precautions in the space provided in this manual.
If you have not read this manual or the engine manu- al, you are not ready to operate the MHP3. Read and understand this manual and any stickers and tags attached to the machine before operation. Failure to do so can result in equipment damage, personal in- jury, or death.
•Operate the machine in a work area WITHOUT BY- STANDERS. The operator must be familiar with all prohibited work areas such as excessive slopes and dangerous terrain conditions.
•DO NOT operate the machine ACROSS excessive slopes or unstable terrain where “tip over” is a hazard.
•DO NOT operate the machine in confined areas where there may be a risk of crushing the operator between the machine and another object.
•DO NOT OPERATE THE TRACHORSE IN EN-
CLOSED SPACES. Inhalation of engine exhaust can be fatal.
•DO NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING that can get entangled in the working parts of the machine or hy- draulic tools.
•DO NOT add fuel to the machine while it is running or still hot.
•DO NOT operate the machine if a fuel odor is pres- ent.
•DO NOT operate the machine within 3.3 ft./1 m of buildings, obstructions, or flammable objects.
•Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine in an enclosure.
•DO NOT RIDE ON, OR ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO
RIDE ON, THE MACHINE AT ANY TIME.
•Establish a training program for all operators to en- sure safe operation.
•DO NOT operate the machine unless thoroughly trained or under the supervision of an instructor.
•Always wear safety equipment such as goggles, ear, head protection, respiratory and safety shoes at all times when operating the TracHorse and hy- draulic tools.
•DO NOT inspect or clean the machine while the en- gine is running. Accidental engagement of the ma- chine can cause serious injury or death.
•Wear a homologated respirator when cutting or breaking masonry, concrete, asbestos and other materials that produce dust.
•The hydraulic circuit control levers must be in the “OFF”position when coupling or uncoupling hydrau- lic tools. Wipe all couplers clean before connecting.

•Before operating hydraulic tools, read and under- stand the operation manual furnished with the tool.
•DO NOT operate a damaged, or improperly adjusted, machine. DO NOT operate with guards removed.
•DO NOT weld or cut with an acetylene torch any surface or component of the equipment. Consult with the Stanley factory before performing any weld- ing or acetylene cutting of the equipment.
•Prevent possible personal injury or equipment dam- age by having all repair, maintenance and service performed only by authorized and properly trained personnel.
•DO NOT exceed the rated limits of the equipment or use the equipment for applications beyond its de- sign capacity.
•Always keep critical markings, such as labels and warning stickers legible.
•Always replace parts with replacement parts recom- mended by Stanley Hydraulic Tools.
•Keep all body parts away from working parts of the TracHorse.
•Be aware of surrounding hazards. Noise created by the TracHorse and the tools it operates may mask early indications of approaching hazards.
