the swing radius prior to swinging upperstructure.

the machine.
• Never permit anyone close enough to machine to become trapped between
undercarriage and upperstructure.
• Position machine to prevent possibility of a person being crushed between
counterweight and another object.
• Do not allow anyone inside the cab(s) (other than the operator) while in
operation.

tight quarters.

when swinging upperstructure or digging. Position unit so that it won't be
