Omitting the inspections after starting the engine results in delay to notice the Machine abnormalities,
and may result in bodily accidents and Machine damages.
Execute inspection in a wide location with no obstacle. In addition, be sure to prevent people from
approaching nearby the Machine.
• Check that the movement of the machine matches the display on the control pattern card. If it does not
match, replace it immediately with the correct control pattern card.
• Inspect the equipment operation conditions, Machine traveling conditions, winch winding up and down,
boom derricking, and crane operation conditions such as extension, retraction and swinging.
• Inspect the sound, vibration, heat and odor of the Machine, and check for instrument errors, air leaks,
oil leaks, fuel leaks, water leaks and other bad factors. Be extra careful with fuel leaks.
• Always repair broken part whenever an abnormality is found. Attempt to use without servicing may
result in unexpected bodily accidents and/or Machine failures.
To prevent serious injuries and death accidents, always execute the
followings before moving the Machine.
• Set the Machine to the traveling posture in the right diagram.
See “Operation 3.7 Machine Traveling Posture” for details.
Do not travel when the hook block is not contained.
• Before traveling, set the machine so that sprocket (A) is behind the
operator’s seat. If sprocket (A) is in front of the operator’s cab, the
machine will move in the opposite direction from the operation of
the levers (front and rear travel is reversed, left and right steering is
reversed). Be extremely careful when operating the machine in this
situation.
• Make the boom fully lowered and retracted.
• Fix the hook block to the containment position.
For a short distance travel, secure the hook block to the stowage
position below the boom tip. For longer travel, secure it to the
regular stowage wire rope in the front of the upper structure.
• Always lock the door and windows of the operator’s compartment in
position (open or close). On jobsites where there is a hazard of
flying objects or of objects entering the operator’s compartment,
check that the door and windows are securely closed.
• In an environment where anyone is around the machine, the
machine may smash or catch him/her, which results in death or
serious injury.
Before start traveling observe strictly as follows:
• Always operate the machine only while seated.
• Always fasten your seat belt.
• Before traveling, check again that there is no one in the
surrounding area, and that there are no obstacles.
• Before traveling, sound the horn to warn people in the area.
•After start traveling, check that the travel alarm correctly sounds.
• If there is an area to the rear of the machine which cannot be seen,
position a signal person. Take special care not to hit other
machines or people when turning or swinging the machine.
Though this machine is equipped with back mirrors and a rear view
camera, always arrange a person to guide safety traveling.
