BE CAREFUL OF TIPPING ON UNSTABLE GROUND
Always observe followings to prevent serious injuries and death accidents when traveling over an
unstable ground for unavoidable reason.
• Do not enter soft ground area. The Machine is difficult to evacuate from such area.
• The ground near cliff, roadside and deep gully is unstable, so avoid going near such ground as much
as possible.
The Machine may tip or fall when the ground loosens due to mass and/or vibration of the Machine. Be
especially careful that the ground is likely loosened after rain, use of dynamite or earthquake.
• Avoid going near the earth fills or vicinity of dug gutter that are instable.
Crumbles caused by mass and/or vibration of the Machine may cause the Machine to tilt.
CAUTIONS WHEN SNOW COVERED OR FROZEN
Always observe the following to prevent serious injuries and death accidents when traveling over snow
covered ground or frozen road for unavoidable reason.
• The snow covered grounds and frozen roads cause slips even when the inclination is small, so
decrease the speed when traveling and avoid starting suddenly, stopping suddenly and swinging
suddenly. Uphill and downhill are especially likely to cause slips and thus dangerous.
• Ground of the frozen road becomes soft when the air temperature rises and causes the Machine travel
and other operations to be unstable. Be very careful.
• Under cold weather, check that the load to be hoisted is not frozen or stuck to the ground or other
substance. Attempting to hoist without knowing the load is frozen or stuck to the ground or other
substance is dangerous.
• Do not directly contact metal surface with your body part such as a finger or hand under cold weather.
Attempt to contact the metal surface of the Machine under harsh cold weather may cause the skin to
stick to the metal surface.
• Remove snow and/or ice laid on the Machine that causes the safety nameplates to be hard to read. Be
especially careful to securely remove those that are on the boom and thus may fall.
• Park the machine on firm, level ground.
• Select a place where there is no hazard of falling rocks or
landslides, or of flooding if the land is low.
• Set the Machine to the traveling posture in the right diagram.
• Make the boom fully lowered and retracted.
• Fix the hook block to the containment position.
For a short time parking, secure the hook block to the stowage
position below the boom tip. For longer parking, secure it to the
regular stowage wire rope in the front of the upper structure.
• Where it is un-avoidable to park the machine on a slope, observe
strictly as follows:
• Make the boom fully lowered and retracted.
• Fix the hook block to the containment position.
For a short time parking, secure the hook block to the stowage
position below the boom tip. For longer parking, secure it to the
regular stowage wire rope in the front of the upper structure.
• Set the front of the machine (blade) on the downhill side. Then dig
it into the ground.
• Put blocks under the tracks to prevent the machine from moving.
• When you leave the machine, observe strictly as follows:
• Set lock lever (1) to LOCK position (L), and then stop the engine.
• Always close the operator’s cab door, and use the key to lock all
the equipment in order to prevent any unauthorized person from
moving the machine. Always remove the key, take it with you, and
leave it in the specified place.
