SAFETY
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety precautions may lead to a serious accident.
When there has been heavy snow, the road shoulder and
G
objects placed beside the road are buried in the snow and
cannot be seen, so always carry out snow-clearing operations
carefully.
WORKING ON LOOSE GROUND
Avoid operating your machine too close to the edge of cliffs,
G
overhangs, and deep ditches. If these areas collapse, your
machine could fall or tip over and result in serious injury or
death. Remember that the soil after heavy rain or blasting is
weakened in these areas.
Earth laid on the ground and the soil near ditches are loose.
G
They can collapse under the weight or vibration of your
machine.
Install the HEAD GUARD (FOPS) if working in areas where
G
there is danger of falling rocks and dirt.
DO NOT HIT THE OPERATOR CAB (for two piece boom only)
When the second boom cylinder is retracted, the bucket or
G
the attachment can hit the operator cab or chassis.
Operate work equipment slowly and carefully to avoid any
G
injury and damage.
OPERATIONS ON SLOPES
When working on slopes, there is danger that the machine
G
may lose its balance and turn over when the swing or work
equipment are operated. Always carry out these operations
carefully.
