How to effectively avoid safety accidents of skid steer loaders

[DIG-DOG]

To effectively avoid skid loader safety accidents, here are some key operating specifications and safety measures:

Preparation before operation

Inspect the equipment: Make sure all parts are in good condition and there are no safety hazards.

Wear protective equipment: Safety helmets, protective glasses, dust masks and other necessary safety equipment must be worn during operation.

Be familiar with the work site: Understand the work site conditions in advance and try to shorten the operation cycle time.

Level the work site: Make sure the work site is level and avoid working on uneven ground.

Avoid working in prohibited areas: When working in prohibited areas or dangerous areas, additional safety measures must be taken and ensure that there is special supervision.

Precautions during operation

Maintain a stable speed: When working, maintain a stable driving speed and avoid sudden acceleration or sudden braking.

Avoid fatigue driving: Arrange working hours reasonably and avoid long-term continuous work.

Precautions when shoveling materials: The speed should be reduced to less than 4 km/h. The bucket should be placed as low as possible to keep the driver's field of vision open and maintain the stability of the machine. The boom cannot be raised for rotation, otherwise it is easy to cause a rollover accident. When shoveling materials, the boom should be lowered to the lowest position and the engine speed should be increased appropriately. During the bucketing process, when the bucket edge and bucket teeth contact obstacles, the obstacles should be avoided, the bottom of the bucket should be kept level with the ground, and the speed should not be too fast. Precautions for slope operation: Be careful not to bring the skid loader close to the edge of the slope to prevent tipping. If the bucket is full of materials, the skid loader should be driven uphill when going uphill and reverse downhill when going downhill. If the bucket is empty, it should be driven forward when going downhill and reverse uphill when going uphill.

Precautions when transporting materials: The bucket must not be raised to the highest position when transporting materials. When transporting materials, the lower hinge point of the boom should be about 30cm off the ground to ensure smooth driving.

Postoperative precautions

Cooling the engine: If the machine has been running at full load before, let the engine idle for 2-3 minutes to allow the engine components to cool slowly.

Turn off the engine: Turn the start key to the "OFF" position and turn off the engine.

Lower the arm: Lower the arm to the ground before leaving the machine.

Remove the key: Remove the key, lift the safety bar locking mechanism bar, unbuckle the seat belt, and use the handrails and pedals to leave the cab.

Park the machine: Park the machine on level ground as much as possible, and place mats in front and behind the tires to prevent the machine from sliding. If the machine needs to be parked on a slope temporarily, place more stable pads under the wheels to prevent the machine from sliding.

By following these safety practices and taking necessary safety measures, the risk of safety accidents during the operation of the skid steer loader can be greatly reduced. At the same time, the operator should receive professional training, be familiar with the performance and operation of the machine, and ensure safe operation!
