PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
START ENGINE
USE WARNING TAGS
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.

no problem with the operation of the machine. If these checks are not performed properly, problems may occur
