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 specic 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 conned 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 ammable 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 switch must be in the
“OFF”position when coupling or uncoupling hydrau-
lic tools. Wipe all couplers clean before connecting.
Use only lint-free cloths. Failure to do so may result
in damage to the quick couplers and cause over-
heating of the hydraulic system.
• Before operating hydraulic tools, read and under-
stand the operation manual furnished with the tool.
• DO NOT operate a damaged, or improperly adjust-
ed, 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.
• Only use the TracHorse in well-ventilated areas. DO
NOT operate in explosive atmospheres, in closed
environments or near ammable substances.
