Mini Excavator Safety Notes

Before Operating Mini Excavators

• Check hydraulic hoses and couplings for splits and leaks.
• Check fluid and oil levels.
• Familiarise yourself with the controls and safety decal information.
• (Usually there are at least four main levers that operate the wheels (skid steer) and the bucket.)
• Check all controls for operation direction marking.

During Operation:

• Ensure personnel are kept clear of the immediate work vicinity when the machine is in operation.
• Always stand on the operator platform behind the machine.
• DO NOT walk behind the machine
• DO NOT travel with bucket or other attachment above machine height.
• Select correct power divider position.

Mini Excavator Notes On Transporting

• Truck or trailer to be parked on level ground.
  Apply truck hand brake.
• Slide ramps into locking position.
• Where fitted insert locking pins and clips.
• Check that the ramps are parallel.
• Check that the bucket is empty and the wheels are clean.
• Reverse up the ramps when loading. This will ensure that the excavator will be driven forward down ramps when unloaded.
