SAFETY
•
Fasten the seatbelt. When the brakes are applied sudden-
ly, the operator may be thrown out of the operator's seat. It
is dangerous and may cause personal injury.
•
Check the operating condition of the machine, work equip-
ment, and travel and brake systems.
•
Check for any problem in the sound, vibration, heat and
smell of the machine, or abnormalities of instruments. Also
check that there is no leakage of oil or fuel.
•
If any problem is found, repair it immediately.
•
Before starting to travel or operations, check that frame
lock bar (1) is fixed securely at FREE position.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELING IN FORWARD OR REVERSE
•
Always lock all the doors and windows of the operator's compartment in position regardless of whether it is
open or closed.
•
Prohibit other personnel to get on the machine.
•
If there are any persons in the area around the machine,
there is danger that they may be hit or caught by the ma-
chine, and this may lead to serious personal injury or
death. Always observe the following before traveling.
•
Always operate the machine only when seated on the
operator's seat.
•
Before starting to move, check again that there is no
people or obstacle in the surrounding area.
•
Before moving, sound the horn to warn people in the
surrounding area.
•
Check that the backup alarm (alarm buzzer when machine travels in reverse) works properly.
•
If there is an area in the rear of the machine which cannot be seen, allocate a conductor.
Always be sure to perform the above precautions even when the machine is equipped with mirrors and cam-
eras.
When traveling downhill through inertia, set the direction of the directional lever or directional selector switch to
the position that matches the machine traveling direction. If the directional lever or directional selector switch is
set to the direction opposite to that of the machine travel, engine stall can result and it is very dangerous.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELING
Serious personal injury or death can result from tipping over of the traveling machine or its accidental contact.
Always observe the following.
•
Never turn the key in the starting switch to OFF position when the machine is traveling. If the engine stops
when the machine is traveling, the steering wheel becomes heavy to operate, and this will cause a wrong
operation of the steering wheel and may lead to serious personal injury or death. If the engine stops, de-
press the brake pedal immediately to stop the machine.
•
When driving the machine or performing operations, always keep a safe distance from people, structures,
or other machines to avoid coming into contact with them.
