• The ROPS must be replaced if a overturn incident occurs. The protection
offered by the ROPS will be impaired if it has been damaged in an
overturn incident.
• Never operate the machine without a ROPS or FOPS installed.
Electrical Energy
• Stay away from high-voltage lines. Serious injury or death can result from
contact or proximity to high-voltage electric lines. The machine does not
have to make physical contact with power lines for current to be
transmitted. Use a spotter and hand signals to keep away from power lines
not clearly visible to the operator.
• Depending upon the voltage in the power line and atmospheric conditions,
strong current shocks can occur if the bucket is closer than 3 m (10 ft.) to
the power line. Very high voltage and rainy weather can further increase
the safe operating distance.
• If the machine comes into contact with a live wire:
- Do not leave the machine.
- If possible, drive the machine out of the danger area.
- Warn others not to approach or touch the machine.
- Have the live wire de-energized.
- Do not leave the machine until the wire has been safely de-energized.
• Work on the machine’s electrical system must be performed only by
trained technicians.
• Inspect and check the machine’s electrical equipment at regular intervals.
Problems found, such as loose connections or scorched cables, much be
repaired before using the machine.
• Only use proper, original equipment fuses/circuit breakers with the
specified current rating. Turn off the machine immediately if there is any
indication of a problem with the electrical system.
Service Safety Practices
• Only trained and authorized personnel, with a full awareness of safe
procedures, should be allowed to operate or perform maintenance or
service on the machine.
• Use warning tag/control lockout procedures during service. Alert others
that service or maintenance is being performed by tagging operator’s
controls — and other machine areas if required — with a warning notice.
• Never attempt to bypass the keyswitch to start the engine. Use only the
proper jump-starting procedure explained in “Using a Booster Battery
(Jump-Starting)” on page 142.
