Safety
Before Operating Machine
If checks are not carried out properly after starting the
engine, it may result in a delay in discovering abnormalities
in the machine, and this may lead to personal injury or
damage to the machine.
Carry out the checks in an open area where there are no
obstructions. Do not let anyone near the machine when
carrying out the checks.
• Check the operating condition of the equipment,
and the actuation of the bucket, boom, and travel
systems.
• Check the machine for any abnormal noise,
vibration, heat, smell, or abnormality with the
gauges. Check also for leakage of air, oil, and
fuel.
• If any abnormality is found, repair the problem
immediately. If the machine is used without
repairing the problems, it may lead to unexpected
injury or failure.
• Clear all personnel from directly around machine
and from the area.
• Clear all obstacles from the machine's path.
Beware of hazards.
• Be sure that all windows are clean. Secure the
doors and the windows in the open position or in
the shut position.
• Adjust the rear view mirrors for best visibility close
to the machine. Make sure that the horn, the
travel alarm (if equipped), and all other warning
devices are working properly.
• Fasten the seat belt securely.
• Warm up the engine and hydraulic oil before
operating machine.
• Before moving the machine, check the position of
undercarriage. The normal travel position is with
idler wheels to the front under the cabin and the
drive sprockets to the rear. When the
undercarriage is in the reversed position, the
travel controls must be operated in opposite
directions.
