EVACUATING IN CASE OF FIRE
•
If fire breaks out during machine operation, evacuate the
machine in the following way:
•
Stop the engine by turning the key switch to the OFF
position.
•
Use a fire extinguisher if there is time.
•
Exit the machine using handrails and/or steps.
•
In an emergency, if the cab door or front window can
not be opened, break the front or rear window panes
with the emergency evacuation hammer to escape
from the cab.
Refer to the explanation pages on the Emergency
Evacuation Method.
BEWARE OF EXHAUST FUMES
•
Prevent asphyxiation. Engine exhaust fumes can cause
sickness or death.
•
If you must operate the machine in a building, be sure
there is adequate ventilation. Either use an exhaust
pipe extension to remove the exhaust fumes or open
doors and windows to bring enough outside air into the
area.
BEWARE OF ASBESTOS DUST
•
Take care not to inhale dust produced in the work site.
Inhalation of asbestos fibers may be the cause of lung
cancer.
•
Depending on the wok site conditions, the risk of in-
haling asbestos fiber may exist. Spray water to pre-
vent asbestos from becoming airborne. Do not use
compressed air.
•
When operating the machine in a work site where
asbestos might be present, be sure to operate the
machine from the upwind side and wear a mask rated
to prevent the inhalation of asbestos.
•
Keep bystanders out of the work site during operation.
Asbestos might be present in imitation parts. Use only
genuine Hitachi Parts.
