MACHINE OPERATION

When Swinging or Changing Direction of
Travel
Before operating the machine or the work equipment, always
observe the following precautions to prevent serious injury or
death.
• Start and operate the machine only while seated.
• When changing the direction of travel from forward to
reverse or from reverse to forward, reduce speed
early and stop the machine before changing the
direction of travel.
• Sound the horn to warn people in the area.
• Check that there is no one in the area around the
machine. 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
traveling in reverse.
• When operating in areas that may be hazardous or
have poor visibility, designate a person to direct work
site traffic.
• Ensure that no unauthorized person can come within
the turning radius or direction of travel.
Be sure to observe the above precautions even if a travel alarm
or mirrors are installed.
