PRECAUTIONS FOR LIGHTENING
• The machine is vulnerable to lighting strikes.
• In the event of an electrical storm, immediately stop opera-
tion, and lower the bucket to the ground. Evacuate to a safe
place far away from the machine.
• After the electrical storm has passed, check all of the ma-
chine safety devices for any failure. If any failed safety de-
vices are found, operate the machine only after repairing
them.
PROHIBITION OF THE SUDDEN MACHINE OPERA-
TION
• Avoid the sudden operation of the machine . If so, the ma-
chine stability is reduced and the machine may tip over.
Specially take care to the following operations.
• The sudden operation when the machine travels.
• The sudden operation when the boom is lowered: The ma-
chine may tip over forward.
• The sudden operation when the boom is raised: The ma-
chine may tip over backward.
PRECAUTIONS OF THE HEAVY ATTACHMENTS
• The stability of the machine with the heavy attachments is
reduced more than the machine with the backhoe. Take care
not to tip over the machine.
• Do the work in the front and back of the crawler as much
as possible.
• Avoid the sudden opration of the machine.
• When selecting the attachments, refer to LIFTING CAPACI-
TIES in SPECIFICATION. Take care to the weight of the at-
tachment and select the attachments.
OPERATE THE MACHINE SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY
• Abrupt operation may cause the machine to tip over due to
impact loads. Operate each function slowly and carefully. Us-
ing extra care, slowly drive the machine. Avoid sudden start
and stop of swing operation, which causes the attachment to
sway so that the base machine becomes unstable thereby cre-
ating a hazardous condition.
