SAFETY

ENSURE GOOD VISIBILITY

This machine is equipped with mirrors to improve the visibility, but even with mirrors, there are places, which cannot
be seen from the operator's seat, so always be careful when operating.
When operating or traveling in places with poor visibility, if it is impossible to confirm the condition of the job side or
obstacle is in the area around the machine, there is danger that the machine may suffer damage or the operator may
suffer serious personal injury. When operating or traveling in places with poor visibility, always observe the following
items strictly.
If the visibility cannot be sufficiently assured, position a flagman if necessary. The operator should pay careful
attention to the signs and follow the instructions of the flagman.
The signals should be given only by one flagman.
When working in dark places, turn on the working lamps and front lamps of the machine, and if necessary, set
up additional lighting in the area.
Stop operations if there is poor visibility, such as in fog, snow, rain, or sand storms.
Check the mirrors on the machine before starting operations every day. Clean off any dirt and adjust the view
to ensure good visibility.
In areas where it is impossible to confirm the area behind the machine and observation cameras have been set
up, clean off any dirt from the lens and make sure that the camera gives a clear view of the rear.

PRECAUTIONS RELATED TO VENTILATION OF EXHAUST GAS

The engine exhaust gas contains substances that may damage
your health or even cause death. Start or operate the engine in a
place where there is good ventilation. If the engine or machine
must be operated inside a building or under ground, where the
ventilation is poor, take steps to ensure that the engine exhaust
gas is removed and that ample fresh air is brought in.

CHECKING SIGNALMAN'S SIGNALS AND SIGNS

Set up signs to inform of road shoulders and soft ground. If the visibility is not good, position a signalman if
necessary. Operators should pay careful attention to the signs and follow the instructions from the signalman.
Only one signalman should give signals.
Make sure that all workers understand the meaning of all signals and signs before starting work.

EMERGENCY ESCAPE FROM OPERATOR'S CAB

The cab installed on this machine has doors on the left and right sides. If the door on one side does not open,
escape through the door on the other side.
