pletely, lock with dump lever lock knob (1), set gear shift lever
(2) to NEUTRAL position (N), set parking brake switch (3) to
“PARKING” position, then stop the engine.
In addition, lock all places and always take the key with you

EMERGENCY EXIT FROM OPERATOR'S CAB
• If it should be impossible to open the door of the cab, break the window glass with the hammer supplied
and use the window as an emergency escape.
For details, see “EMERGENCY ESCAPE HAMMER (3-107)” in this manual.
• When escaping, remove all the pieces of glass from the window frame first and be careful not to cut your-
self on the glass.
Be careful also not to slip on the broken pieces of glass on the ground.
DO NOT GET CAUGHT IN WORK EQUIPMENT
• If the clearance at the articulating portion changes and you
get caught in it, you will suffer serious personal injury or
death. Do not allow anyone to come inside the articulation
range.
• The clearance in the area around the dump body changes
according to the movement of the dump body. If you are
caught, this may lead to serious personal injury or death.
Do not allow anyone near any of the rotating or telescopic
parts.
PRECAUTIONS RELATED TO PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES
The operator's compartment is equipped with a structure (such as ROPS, FOPS) to protect the operator by ab-
sorbing the impact energy.
As for the machine equipped with ROPS, if the machine weight
(mass) exceeds the certified value (shown on ROLL-OVER
PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS) CERTIFICATION plate),
ROPS will not be able to fulfill its function. Do not increase ma-
chine weight beyond the certified value by modifying the ma-
chine or by installing attachments to the machine.
Also, if the function of the protective equipment is impeded, the
protective equipment will not be able to protect the operator,
and the operator may suffer injury. Always observe the follow-
ing.
