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.
Always fasten your seat belt.
Check the operation of the steering, travel, and brake systems.
Check for any problem in the sound of the machine, vibration, heat, smell, or gauges; check also that there is no
leakage of oil or fuel.
If any problem is found, carry out repairs immediately.
Before traveling or carrying out operations, check that

PRECAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELING IN FORWARD OR REVERSE

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.
If another person is allowed on the machine, that person may sit
only in the assistant's seat.
Check that the backup alarm (backup warning buzzer) works
properly.
Always close the door and the window of the operator's
compartment and check that the door lock is applied.
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.
