PRECAUTIONS BEFORE STARTING INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

DISPLAY WARNING TAG DURING INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
During inspection and maintenance, always display the "DAN-
GER! Do NOT operate!" warning tag.
If there is a "DANGER! Do NOT operate!" warning tag dis-
played, it means that someone is performing inspection and
maintenance of the machine. If the warning tag is ignored and
the machine is operated, the person performing inspection or
maintenance may be caught in the rotating parts or moving
parts. It is dangerous and may cause serious personal injury or
death. Do not start the engine or touch the levers.
If necessary, put up signs around the machine as well.
Warning tag part No. 09963-A1640
When not using this warning tag, keep it in the toolbox. If there
is no toolbox, keep it in the pocket for Operation and Mainte-
nance Manual
KEEP WORK PLACE CLEAN AND TIDY
Do not leave hammers or other tools lying around in the work place. Wipe up all grease, oil, or other sub-
stances that will cause you to slip. Always keep the work place clean the tidy to enable you to perform oper-
ations safely. If the work place is not kept clean and tidy, there is the danger that you will trip, slip, or fall
over and injure yourself.
When cleaning the ceiling window which is made of organic glass (polycarbonate), use tap water and avoid
use of organic solvents for cleaning. An organic solvent like benzene, toluene or methanol can invite a
chemical reaction like dissolution and decomposition on the window glass, deteriorating polycarbonate in
use.
SELECT SUITABLE PLACE FOR INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Stop the machine on a firm, level ground.
Select a place where there is no hazard of landslides, falling rocks, or flooding.
ONLY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL
As long as maintenance of the machine is continued, do not allow unauthorized person to come near the work-
place. They might get unexpected personal injury from, for instance, touching machine. Do not allow anyone
except the workers concerned to enter the workplace. If necessary, employ a guard.
APPOINT LEADER WHEN WORKING WITH OTHERS
When repairing the machine or when removing and installing the work equipment, appoint a leader and follow
his/hers instructions during the operation in order to prevent personal injuries caused by being caught or
pinched.
STABILITY
When dismantling or assembling the machine for the purpose of maintenance, repair or transportation, al-
ways ensure that at each stage of the process, care is taken to ensure that the machine remains stable.
Failure to do this could result in serious injury or death.
