GENERAL PRECAUTIONS COMMON TO OPERATION AND MAINTE-
NANCE
KEEP MACHINE CLEAN
If you get on or off the machine or perform inspection and maintenance on the machine with mud or oil, you
may slip and fall, and it is dangerous. Remove any residual mud or oil from the machine. Always keep the
machine clean.
If water gets into the electrical system, electric devices will
cause malfunctions, and the machine will cause error. If
the machine cause error, it may move unexpectedly and
cause serious personal injury or death. When washing the
machine with water or steam, do not allow the water or
steam to come into direct contact with electrical compo-
nents.
If high-pressure water is sprayed directly onto camera, it
may cause failure. Defective camera cannot monitor sur-
rounding area. When cleaning, do not allow the high-pres-
sure water to get into camera directly, and wipe off any dirt
with soft cloth.
When cleaning the cameras (if installed) and mirrors, avoid standing in an unstable position or assume an
unstable posture to avoid the risk of falls or accidents. Place a suitable double ladder or step on a stable
and flat surface. Clean the cameras (if installed) and the mirrors assuming the correct posture.
PRECAUTIONS FOR INSIDE OPERATOR'S COMPARTMENT
When entering the operator's compartment, always remove all mud and oil from the soles of your shoes.
If you operate the pedal with mud or oil affixed to your shoes, your foot may slip and this may cause a seri-
ous accident.
Do not leave tools or machine parts lying around inside the operator's compartment. If tools or parts get into
the control devices, it may obstruct operation and cause the machine to move unexpectedly, resulting in
serious personal injury or death.
Do not stick suction pads to the window glass. Suction pads act as a lens and may cause fire.
Do not use a cellular phone when driving or operating the machine. This may lead to mistakes in operation,
and may cause serious personal injury or death.
Never bring any dangerous objects such as flammable or explosive items into the operator's compartment.
PROVIDE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND FIRST AID KIT
Observe the following precautions to prepare for action if any
serious personal injury or death or fire should occur.
Be sure that fire extinguishers have been provided and
read the labels to ensure that you know how to use them
for the possibility of fires.
Perform periodic inspection and maintenance to ensure
that the fire extinguisher can always be used.
Provide a first aid kit in the storage point. Perform periodic
checks and add to the contents if necessary.
IF ANY PROBLEM IS FOUND
If you find any problems in the machine during operation or maintenance (noise, vibration, smell, incorrect
gauges, smoke, oil leakage, etc., or any abnormal display on the warning devices or monitor), report to the per-
son in charge and take the necessary action. Do not operate the machine until the problem has been corrected.
