Fasten Your Seat Belt; Move And Operate Machine Safely; Handle Starting Aids Safely - Hitachi Zaxis 850LC-3 Operator's Manual

FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT

• If the machine should overturn, the operator may become
injured and/or thrown from the cab. Additionally the opera-
tor may be crushed by the overturning machine, resulting in
serious injury or death.
• Prior to operating the machine, thoroughly examine web-
bing, buckle and attaching hardware. If any item is dam-
aged or worn, replace the seat belt or component before
operating the machine.
• Be sure to remain seated with the seat belt securely fas-
tened at all times when the machine is in operation to
minimize the chance of injury from an accident.
• We recommend that the seat belt be replaced every three
years regardless of its apparent condition.

MOVE AND OPERATE MACHINE SAFELY

• Bystanders can be run over.
• Take extra care not to run over bystanders. Confirm the
location of bystanders before moving, swinging, or oper-
ating the machine.
• Always keep the travel alarm and horn in working condi-
tion (if equipped). It warns people when the machine
starts to move.
• Use a signal person when moving, swinging, or operating
the machine in congested areas. Coordinate hand signals
before starting the machine.
• Use appropriate illumination. Check that all lights are op-
erable before operating the machine. If any faulty illumi-
nation is present, immediately repair it.

HANDLE STARTING AIDS SAFELY

Starting fluid:
• Starting fluid is highly flammable.
• Keep all sparks and flame away when using it.
• Keep starting fluid well away from batteries and cables.
• Remove container from machine if engine does not need
starting fluid.
• To prevent accidental discharge when storing a pressur-
ized container, keep the cap on the container, and store it
in a cool, well-protected location.
• Do not incinerate or puncture a starting fluid container.
