Move and Operate Machine Safely

 Always be aware that there is a potential danger around the
machine while operating the machine.
 Take extra care not to run over bystanders. Confirm the
location of bystanders before moving, swinging, or
operating the machine.
 Always keep the travel alarm and horn in working
condition (if equipped).
 Before starting to move or operate the machine, sound
the travel alarm and horn to alert bystanders.
 Use a signal person when moving, swinging, or operating
the machine in congested areas. Locate the signal person
so that the operator can always witness the signal person.
 Coordinate the meanings of all safety signs, hand signals
and marks before starting the machine. Appoint a person
who is responsible to make a signal and/or guidance.
 Never allow any persons or obstacles to enter the
machine operation areas.
 Use appropriate illumination.

Operate Only From Operator's Seat

 Inappropriate engine starting procedures may cause the
machine to runaway, possibly resulting in serious injury or
death.
 Start the engine only when seated in the operator's seat.
 NEVER start the engine while standing on the tracks or on
ground.
 Do not start engine by shorting across starter terminals.
A hazardous situation may be created and/or possible
damage to the machine may result.
 Before starting the engine, confirm that all control levers
are in neutral.

Jump Starting

 Failure to follow correct jump starting procedures could
result in a battery explosion or a runaway machine.
 If the engine must be jump started, be sure to follow the
instructions shown in the "OPERATING ENGINE" chapter.
 The operator must be seated in the operator's seat so
that the machine will be under control when the engine
starts. Jump starting is a two-person operation.
 Never use a frozen battery.
