SAFETY
OPERATION
CHECKS AFTER STARTING ENGINE
When carrying out the checks, move the machine to a wide area where there are no obstructions, and operate
slowly. Do not allow anyone near the machine.
Check that the movement of the machine matches the display on the control pattern card. If it does not match,
replace it immediately with the correct control pattern card.
Check the operation of the gauges and equipment, and check the operation of the bucket, arm, boom, travel
system, swing system, and steering system.
Check for any abnormality in the sound of the machine, vibration, heat, smell, or gauges; check also that there
is no leakage of oil or fuel.
If any abnormality is found, carry out repairs immediately.
SAFETY RULES FOR CHANGING MACHINE DIRECTIONS
Position the upper structure so that the sprocket is at the
rear of the operator's cab before traveling.
If the sprocket is at the front of the operator's cab, the
direction of operations is reversed (for example, forward
becomes reverse, and left becomes right).
Before travelling, check again that there is no one in the
surrounding area, and that there are no obstacles.
Before travelling, sound the horn to warn people in the
area.
Always operate the machine only when seated.
Do not allow anyone apart from the operator to ride on the
machine.
Always fasten your seat belt.
Always lock the door and windows of the operator's com-
partment in position (open or closed).
On jobsites where there is a hazard of flying objects or of
objects entering the operator's compartment, check that
the door and windows are securely closed.
If there is an area to the rear of the machine which cannot
be seen, position a signal person. Take special care not to
hit other machines or people when turning or swinging the
machine.
Always be sure to carry out the above precautions even when
the machine is equipped with mirrors.
