Protection from flying objects and/or falling objects is required for special applications. Logging applications
and demolition applications are two examples that require special protection.
A front guard needs to be installed when a work tool that creates flying objects is used. Mesh front guards
that are approved by Caterpillar or polycarbonate front guards that are approved by Caterpillar are available
for machines with a cab or an open canopy. On machines that are equipped with cabs, the windshield
should also be closed. Safety glasses are recommended when flying hazards exist for machines with cabs
and machines with open canopies.
If the work material extends above the cab, top guards and front guards should be used. Typical examples
of this type of application are listed below:
Demolition applications
Rock quarries
Forestry products
Additional guards may be required for specific applications or work tools. The Operation and Maintenance
Manual for your machine or your work tool will provide specific requirements for the guards. Consult your
Caterpillar dealer for additional information.
