PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
•
Do not pass the bucket over the heads of other workers or over the operator's seat of dump trucks or other
hauling equipment. There is a danger that the load may spill or the bucket may hit the dump truck and
cause serious personal injury or death.
•
When working on or from the top of buildings or other structures, check the strength and the structure be-
fore starting operations. There is a hazard of the building collapsing and causing serious injury or death.
•
Generally speaking, the machine is more liable to tip over when the work equipment is at the side than
when it is at the front or rear of the machine.
•
Be extremely careful when swinging the work equipment from the front or rear to the side of machine while
it is applied a load. It is dangerous that the machine may tip over.
•
When using a breaker or other heavy work equipment, it is dangerous that the machine may lose its bal-
ance and tip over. When operating the machine on the flat ground as well as on slopes, observe the follow-
ing.
•
Do not suddenly lower, swing, or stop the work equipment.
•
Do not suddenly extend or retract the boom cylinder. It is dangerous that the machine may tip over by
the impact.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING ON SNOW OR FROZEN SURFACES
•
Snow-covered or frozen surfaces are slippery, so be extremely careful when travelling or operating the ma-
chine, and do not perform abrupt lever operation. Machine may slip even on a slight slope. Be particularly
careful when working on slopes.
•
Frozen road becomes soft when the temperature rises, and the machine may tip over or be not able to es-
cape. Be particularly careful when working on frozen road.
•
It is dangerous that the machine enters deep snow. The machine may tip over or become buried in the
snow. Be careful not to go off the road or to get trapped in a drift of snow.
•
When performing snow removal, the road and objects placed beside the road are buried in the snow and
cannot be seen. Be careful.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN PARKING MACHINE
Unexpected move of the parked machine can cause serious personal injury or death. Always observe the fol-
lowing.
•
Park the machine on a firm, level ground.
•
Select a place where there is no hazard of landslides, fall-
ing rocks, or flooding.
•
Lower the work equipment to the ground.
•
When leaving the machine, be sure to make the undercar-
riage and upper structure point to the same direction, and
lower the work equipment to the ground. Operate the oper-
ating portion (g) of the lock lever (1) to set it to LOCK posi-
tion (L) and stop the engine.
•
If the operator's seat and the console are placed forward,
your body or clothes may touch the levers. Move them
backward to secure a sufficient space to get off the ma-
chine.
•
Always close the operator's cab door, and use the key to
lock all the equipment in order to prevent any unauthorized
person from operating the machine. Always remove the key, take it with you, and keep it in the specified
place.
