– Any necessary barriers separating the jobsite from public roads
– Height of the ceiling/clearances
– Width of entrances
– Maximum load of ceilings and floors
– Sufficient room ventilation to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poi-
soning
• Observe the risk zone.
• Be aware of overhead electric lines. If the machine touches an energized
electric line:
– Do not leave the machine until the energized electric line has either
been de-energized or removed from the machine.
– While the machine is touching the energized electric lines, warn oth-
ers against approaching and touching the machine.
– Move the machine away from the energized electric lines.
– Have the energized electric lines de-energized.
Environmental conditions for operation
• Avoid operating in extremely dusty conditions.
• Avoid operating in the presence of chemical gases or fumes.
• Avoid operating in a corrosive atmosphere such as salt water spray.
• Do not expose the engine to the rain.
• When the engine is operated in dusty conditions, inspect the air cleaner
element more frequently.
• Contact your authorized YANMAR industrial engine dealer or distributor
if the engine will be operated an altitude of 1,676m (5,500ft) or higher.
High altitude reduces engine power, de-stabilizes operation and gener-
ates exhaust gas that exceeds the specification amount in design.
Dust precaution
• Work in a well ventilated area.
• Use a dust control system.
• Wear an approved dust/particle respirator.
Demolition or excavation work
• When working on roofs or similar structures, check the resistance and
the structure itself before starting work. The building can collapse, caus-
ing serious injury, death, and damage.
• Do not place the machine directly under the workplace during demolition.
Debris can fall onto the machine or the building can collapse, causing
serious injury, death, and damage.
• Look out for hazards such as high-voltage lines, underground cables,
buried utility lines (electrical, gas, water, communication, sewer), etc.,
during excavation work.
Before any digging begins:
