•
To prepare for any possible emergencies, wear rubber shoes and gloves. Lay a rubber sheet on the opera-
tor's seat, and be careful not to touch the chassis with any exposed part of your body.
•
Use a signalman to give warning if the machine approaches too close to the electric cables.
•
When performing operations near high voltage cables, prohibit anyone other than related persons to come
close to the machine during operation.
•
If the machine should come too close or touch the electric cable, to prevent electric shock, the operator
should not leave the operator's compartment until it has been confirmed that the electricity has been shut
off. Also, prohibit any other persons to come close to the machine.
ENSURE GOOD VISIBILITY
Although this machine is equipped with mirrors and cameras (if installed) to ensure good visibility, the operator
may not be able to see certain points. Therefore always pay close attention.
There is a risk of injury, including fatalities when manoeuvring the machine or performing operations in places
with poor visibility, where it is impossible to see possible obstacles or to check the conditions of the site. Always
observe the following when manoeuvring the machine or performing operations in places with poor visibility.
•
Ensure the presence of a on signaller in places with poor visibility.
•
Only one signalman should give signals.
•
When working in dark places, turn on the working lights and headlights installed to the machine, and set up
additional lighting in the work area if necessary.
•
Stop operations if the visibility is poor because of mist, snow, rain, or dust.
•
When checking the mirrors installed to the machine, remove all dirt and adjust the angle of the mirror to
ensure good visibility.
•
Clean the lens of the camera (if installed) carefully and check that the display is clear.
CHECK SIGNS AND SIGNALMAN'S SIGNALS
If signals and labels are not clear, serious personal injury can result from downward slip, overturn or accidental
contact with nearby people or obstacles. Always observe the following.
•
Set up labels to inform of road edges and soft ground. If the visibility is not good, position a conductor if
necessary. Operator should pay careful attention to the labels and follow the instructions from the conduc-
tor.
•
Only one signalman should give signals.
•
Make sure that all workers understand the meaning of all signals, signs, and labels before starting work.

where industrial waste is handled. Always observe the follow-
ing.
•
Spray water to keep down the dust.
•
Do not use compressed air.
•
If there is danger that there may be asbestos dust in the
air, always operate the machine from an upwind position,
