In the event of contact with a high-voltage line,
keep sitting on the operator's seat until the elec-
tric current has been shut down.
•
Warn any workers on the ground in the vicinity
of the machine not to make contact with the ma-
chine.
•
If leaving the machine is unavoidable, jump
down to a place free from any contact with the
machine.
•
Avoid operating the machine on soft ground, a
slope or cliff as there is a risk that it may over-
turn. Pay special attention when it is raining as
the rainfall may soften the ground.
•
When operating or driving the machine under-
water, check the floor conditions, depth of water
and flow rate, and make sure that the top roller
and axle housing are not immersed in water.

10) Cautions when operating in specific areas
(1) Operating in extermely cold environments
-
Do not attempt to start, stop or turn the machine suddenly as this may cause it to slip. There is
potential for the machine to slip.
-
Snow-covered or frozen ground may be slippery and dangerous.
-
Idle operation of the machine may be required to elevate the engine temperature during startup.
-
An impact resulting from a sudden movement of the boom or the attachments at an extremely low
temperature may cause serious damage to the machine.
-
The working cycle or loading weight might be reduced to lower than those under normal condi-
tions.
-
Check the following conditions before operating the machine :
-
Warm up the engine for 3~4 seconds when starting up the engine.
-
Always fully charge the battery. A dis-
charged battery will freeze earlier than a
fully charged battery.
-
Use engine oil and fuel that are appropri-
ate for the temperature.
-
Keep the fuel tank full.
-
Remove any moisture from the fuel tank,
and change the fuel filter regularly.
-
If the fuel filter is frozen, the flow of fuel
may be blocked.
-
Pour the proper volume of antifreeze into
the coolant.
