Keep Riders Off Machine; Drive Safely - Hitachi ZW180 Operator's Manual

KEEP RIDERS OFF MACHINE

• Riders on machine are subject to injury such as being struck
by foreign objects and being thrown off the machine.
• Only the operator should be on the machine. Keep riders
off.
• Riders also obstruct the operator's view, resulting in the
machine being operated in an unsafe manner.

DRIVE SAFELY

• Beware of the possibility of slipping and/or turning over the
machine when driving on a slope.
• When driving on level ground, hold the bucket at mark (A)
400 to 500 mm above the ground as illustrated.
• Avoid traveling over any obstacles.
• Drive the machine slowly when driving on rough terrain.
• Avoid quick direction changes. Failure to do so may cause
the machine to turn over.
• If the engine stops while driving, the steering function
becomes inoperative. Immediately stop the machine by
applying the bake to prevent personal accident.
• Even though the machine is equipped with the emergency
steering system, if the steering function becomes inoper-
able during drive operation, press the emergency steering
check switch on the right console to activate the emergency
steering system. Then, immediately park and stop the ma-
chine in a safe location.
