Protect Against Flying Debris; Park Machine Safely - Hitachi ZAXIS 30U-5N Operator's Manual

Protect Against Flying Debris

 If flying debris such as soil, rock fragments or metal pieces
hit eyes or any other part of the body, serious injury may
result.
 Guard against such injuries when working in a job site
where possibility of flying pieces of metal or debris exist,
or when removing or installing pins using a hammer;
wear goggles or safety glasses.
 Keep bystanders away from the working area before
striking any object.

Park Machine Safely

 Unless the machine is correctly parked, any hazardous
situations such as running away of the machine or damage
by vandalism may result, causing the machine to operate
unsafely when the engine is restarted. Follow instructions
described below when parking the machine.
 Park the machine on solid level surface to prevent the
machine from running away.
 Lower the bucket and/or blade to the ground.
 Pull the pilot control shut-off lever to the LOCK position.
 Turn the auto-idle switch OFF. Failure to do so may
create a hazardous condition as the engine speed may
unexpectedly increase.
 Run the engine at slow idle speed without load for 5
minutes.
 Turn key switch to OFF to stop engine. Remove the key
from the key switch.
 Before leaving the machine, close all windows, roof vent,
and cab door. Lock all access doors and compartments.
