SAFETY
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety precautions may lead to a serious accident.
CHECK THAT NO ONE IS IN THE AREA BEFORE SWINGING
OR TRAVELLING IN REVERSE
Always position a signalman when operating in dangerous
●
places or places where the view is not clear.
Make sure that no one comes inside the swing radius or
●
direction of travel.
Before starting to move, sound the horn or give a signal to
●
warn people not to come close to the machine.
Make use of all mirrors to ensure that the area around the
●
machine is clear.
There are blind spots behind the machine, so if necessary,
●
swing the upper structure to check that there is no one behind
the machine before travelling in reverse.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELLING
Fold in the work equipment as shown in the diagram, and
●
keep it at a height of 40-50 cm from the ground level before
starting to travel.
Before travelling on public roads, fully raise dozer blade and
●
outriggers, lock the outriggers in position with the safety pin,
lock the bucket and arm cylinder with isolation valves, and
insert swing lock pin.
For details, see "TRAVELLING ON PUBLIC HIGHWAY
(171)"
When travelling on public roads the safety lock lever should
●
be down (UNLOCKED) and lock lever switch engaged. This
prevents operation of the control levers.
When travelling on rough ground, travel at low speed, and
●
avoid sudden changes in direction.
Avoid travelling over obstacles as far as possible. If the
●
machine has to travel over an obstacle, keep the work equip-
ment as close to the ground as possible and travel at low
speed. Never travel over obstacles which make the machine
tilt strongly (10° or more).
