CHECKS AFTER STARTING ENGINE
Failure to carry out the checks properly after starting the engine will lead to delays in discovery of
abnormalities, and this may lead to serious injury or damage to the machine.
When carrying out the checks, use a wide area where there are no obstructions. Do not allow anyone
near the machine.
‡ Check the operation of the gauges and equipment, and check the operation of the dump body,
brakes, travel system, and steering system.
‡ Checks for any abnormality in the sound of the machine, vibration, heat, smell, or gauges; check
also that there is no leakage of air, oil, or fuel.
‡ If any abnormality is found, carry out repairs immediately.
If the machine is used when it is not improper condition, it may lead to serious injury or damage
to the machine.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING OFF
‡ Before starting off, check again that there is no one in the surrounding area and that there is no
obstacles.
‡ When starting off, sound the horn as an alert.
Always operate the machine only when seated.
‡ An additional worker may ride in the machine only when sitting in the passenger seat. Do not allow
anyone to ride on the machine body.
‡ Check that the backup alarm works properly.
‡ Always close the door of the operator's compartment and check that the door is securely locked.
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE TRAVEL
‡ Always be sure that you know the wear condition of the brakes.
‡ Check that all the monitor lamps are working normally.
‡ Check that the brake lamps light up normally.
‡ Always close the door of the operator's cab.
It is extremely dangerous to travel with the door open. Even when the door is locked open, the
lock may come free if you suddenly brake or go down a steep hill, and the door may close
unexpectedly.
