1.5 OTHER PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTION NOT TO BE CAUGHT IN THE MACHINE
Around the upper structure and craning devices, movement of the
derricking cylinder and/or winch make the opening space vary. When
one becomes caught in such an opening, it may result serious
personal injury or death.
Always keep persons away from such rotating or telescoping part.
Especially, avoid putting oneself or your body into locations as below:
• Clearance between boom and upper structure
• Clearance between boom and derricking cylinder
• Clearance between winch drum and wire rope
• Clearance between each sheaves and wire rope
Do not modify the Machine without our written consent under any circumstance. Especially, welding
work which can damage safety devices badly.
The modification raises a safety issue, so consult us or our sales service agency beforehand.
We cannot be held responsible for any bodily accident or failure caused by modification that was
performed without consulting us.
• When installing optional parts or attachments, there may be problems with safety or legal restrictions.
Therefore contact our sales service agency for advice.
• Any injuries, accidents, or product failures resulting from the use of unauthorized attachments or parts
will not be the responsibility of Maeda.
• When installing and using optional attachments, read the instruction manual for the attachment, and
the general information related to attachments in this manual.
• If a pane of the cab window is broken, stop the machine immediately and replace the broken pane with
new one.
• The ceiling window is made of organic glass (polycarbonate), and as such it is apt to break easily when
receiving damage on the surface, thereby deteriorating its protective characteristic. If there is a crack
or damage caused by a fallen rock, or when any sign of them is noticed, replace it with new window.
When starting the engine or handling fuel/cleaning oil/paint indoors or
at a location with bad ventilation condition, prevent gas-poisoning risk
by improving the ventilation by opening the windows and exits.
If the ventilation is insufficient even after opening the windows and
exits, set up a ventilation fan.
