Preparing Precautions
Know the working area
Before starting operation, know the working
area to ensure safety.
Check the topography and ground
condition of the working area, or the
structure of the building when working
indoors, and take the necessary safety
measures in dangerous spots.
Note and avoid all hazards and obstructions
such as ditches, underground lines, trees,
cliffs, overhead electrical wires and areas
where there is danger of a slide.
Check with the local utilities for the
locations of buried gas and water pipes
and buried power cables. Determine
jointly what specific precautions must be
taken to ensure safety.
When working on roads, be sure to take
into account the safety of pedestrians and
vehicles.
• Use a flagman and/or signals.
• Fence off the working area and prohibit
entry to unauthorized persons.
When working in water or crossing shallow
streams or creeks, check the depth of the
water, the firmness of the ground, and the
speed of the current beforehand. Make
sure the water is not deeper than the
allowable depth.
Refer to the section titled “Cautions on
Use in Water” for further instructions.
Check the strength of the bridge
When travelling over a bridge or other
structure, check the permissible load. If the
strength is insufficient, reinforce it.
Always keep the machine clean
Clean windows, mirrors and lights to
ensure good visibility.
Wipe off any oil, grease, mud, snow and
ice, to prevent accidents due to slipping.
Remove all loose objects stored in the
machine and all objects that do not belong
in or on the machine and its equipment.
Remove any dirt, oil and grease from the
engine area, to prevent fires.
Clean the area around the operator’s seat,
removing any potential obstacles.
