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 from the operator's seat.
• Do not start engine by shorting across starter terminals.
• Before starting the engine, confirm that all control levers
are in neutral.
• Before starting the engine, confirm the safety around the
machine and sound the horn to alert bystanders.
Jump Starting
• Battery gas can explode, resulting in serious injury.
• If the engine must be jump started, be sure to follow the
instructions shown in the "OPERATING ENGINE" chapter in
the operator's manual.
• The operator must be 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.
• Failure to follow correct jump starting procedures could
result in a battery explosion or a runaway machine.
Precautions for Operations
• Investigate the worksite before starting operations.
• Be sure to install an overhead cab guard when operating
in a worksite which has a possibility of falling objects.
• If operation on soft ground is required, sufficiently
reinforce the ground beforehand.
• Be sure to wear close fitting clothing and safety
equipment appropriate for the job, such as a hard hat,
etc. when operating the machine.
• Clear all persons and obstacles from area of operation and
machine movement.
Do not permit persons other than the operator to enter
areas where there is danger such as flying objects.
Always beware of the surroundings while operating.
When working in a small area surrounded by obstacles,
take care not to hit the upperstructure against obstacles.
• When loading onto trucks, bring the bucket over the truck
beds from the rear side. Take care not to swing the bucket
over the cab or over any person.
