Guards - Operator Protection
There are different types of guards that are used to protect the operator. The host machine and the machine application determines the type of guard that should be used.
A daily inspection of the guards is required in order to check for structures that are bent, cracked or loose. Never operate a machine with a damaged structure.
The operator becomes exposed to a hazardous situation if the machine is used improperly or if poor operating techniques are used. This situation can occur even though a machine is equipped with an appropriate protective guard. Follow the established operating procedures that are recommended for your machine.
Additional guards may be required for specific applications. You must see the Operation and Maintenance Manual for your host machine in order to determine the specific requirements for the guards. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for additional information.
