Operator conditions to be checked before operating the
machine
The machine shall be operated by authorized and skilled
operators only.
The operator should wear clothes and personal protec-
tion gear that are appropriate for the work environment.
The operator should only be permitted to operate the
machine under normal conditions after checking the state
of the operator. Operator under the influence of alcohol
or drugs, or an extremely exhausted operator should not
operate the machine.
The operator should read and fully understand the opera-
tor's manual before operating the machine.
The operator should fully understand the details and pro-
cedures of the work to be performed.
If a risk of a safety accident is suspected, consult suffi-
ciently with the responsible worker, and only perform the
work after taking the necessary preventive measures.
Machine conditions to be checked before operating the
machine
Check the machine for abnormal noise, vibration or heat,
and for the leakage of engine oil, hydraulic oil, fuel or
refrigerant.
Remove any substances (e.g., inflammable materials
such as wooden chips, dead leaves and pieces of paper)
from the engine and the battery. The buildup of such
substances may cause a fire.
Do not operate a machine that needs repairing without
taking actions for repair.
Operate the machine only after making sure that the
regular inspection and service recommended in the
operator's manual have been executed.
Adjust the operator's seat to suit the physical condition of
the operator. Check the seatbelt for damage, and replace
it if damaged. Do not store unnecessary objects or tools
in the cabin.
Keep clean all parts related to the visibility, such as the
windshield and rearview mirror. In particular, adjust the
rearview mirror to ensure that the operator's field of vision
is clear.
Check the acoustic alarms (e.g., the horn and warning
signal when driving backward or moving) for normal
operation.
