GENERAL PRECAUTIONS COMMON TO OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY
2-16
PRECAUTIONS WHEN LEAVING MACHINE
If the proper procedures are not taken when parking the
machine, the machine may suddenly move off by itself, and this
may lead to serious personal injury or death. Always do the fol-
lowing.
q When leaving the machine, always lower the work equip-
ment completely to the ground, set lock lever (1) to the lock
position (L), and stop the engine.
In addition, lock all parts, always take the key with you and
leave it in the specified place.
EMERGENCY EXIT FROM OPERATOR'S CAB
q If the cab door does not open, use the emergency escape hammer to break the window glass and use the win-
dow as an emergency escape. For details, see “EMERGENCY ESCAPE HAMMER (3-105)“.
q When escaping, remove all the pieces of glass from the window frame first and be careful not to cut yourself
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 2
The clearance in the area around the work equipment changes according to the movement of the link. If you get
caught, you may suffer serious personal injury or death. Do not allow anyone to come close to any rotating or
extending/retracting portion.
PRECAUTIONS RELATED TO PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES 2
The operator's compartment is equipped with a structure (such
as ROPS, FOPS) to protect the operator by absorbing the
impact energy. As for the machine equipped with ROPS, if the
machine weight (mass) exceeds the certified value (shown on
the ROLL-OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS) CERTI-
FICATION plate), ROPS will not be able to fulfill its function. Do
not increase machine weight beyond the certified value by
modifying the machine 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 or death.
Always observe the following.
q If the machine is equipped with a protective structure, do
not remove the protective structure and carry out opera-
tions without it.
