Safety
Avoid operating your machine to close to the edge of cliffs,
overhangs, and deep ditches. The ground may be weak in
such areas. If the ground should collapse, the machine
could fall or tip over and this could result in serious injury or
death.
Remember that the soil after heavy rain, blasting or after
earthquakes, is weakened in these areas.
Earth laid on the ground and the soil near ditches is loose.
It can collapse under the weight of vibration of your machine
and cause your machine to tip over.
Install the safety guard if working in areas where there is
danger of falling rocks.
Checks Before Starting Engine
Every day before starting the engine for the first time, carry
out the following checks. If these checks are not carried out
properly, there is danger of serious injury.
Completely remove all wood chips, leaves, grass, paper and
other flammable materials accumulated in the engine
compartment and around the battery. They could cause a
fire. Remove any dirt from the window glass, mirrors,
handrails, and steps.
Do not leave tools or spare parts laying around in the
operator's compartment. The vibration of the machine when
traveling or during operations may cause them to fall and
damage or break the control levers or switches. They may
also get caught in the gap of the control levers and cause
the work equipment to malfunction or move dangerously.
This may lead to unexpected accidents.
Check the coolant level, fuel level, and hydraulic tank oil
level, and check for clogged air cleaner and damage to the
electrical wiring.
Adjust the operator's seat to a position where it is easy to
operate the machine, and check the seat belt and mounts
for damage and wear.
Check the operation of the gauges and the angle of the
mirrors, and check that the safety lever is in "LOCKED"
position.
If any abnormalities are found in the above checks, carry
out repairs immediately.
