2.2 AFTER STARTING ENGINE
INSPECTION AFTER STARTING ENGINE
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.
• Inspect the equipment operation conditions, Machine traveling conditions, outrigger operation
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.
CAUTIONS WHEN STARTING TO MOVE MACHINE
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.
Do not travel when the hook block is not contained.
• Make the boom fully lowered and retracted.
• Fix the hook block to the containment position.
• Make the outrigger contained.
See “Operation 2.5 Machine Travel Posture” for details.
• Make sure again that no one or object is in the vicinity before
starting to move.
• Blow the horn for warning before starting to move.
• Always remain seated in the cab seat during traveling operation of
the Machine.
• The Machine is prohibited to travel when a person or load is on the
traveling dolly or the boom.
• When traveling, stow hook and outrigger, and make sure the
surrounding safety.
• When stowing outriggers, insert each position pins completely to
lock.
CAUTIONS WHEN MOVING FORWARD/BACKWARD OR CHANGING DIRECTION
Always observe followings to prevent serious injuries and deaths
when moving the Machine.
• Drop the speed early and wait until the Machine stops before
changing from forward to backward, or backward to forward.
• Blow the horn and alert to the people nearby before changing
between forward/backward movements or changing direction.
• Check that no one is around the Machine.
The front of the Machine frame requires special attention because
certain part of vision is blocked, so stop the Machine as necessary
and make sure no one is at front or around.
• Place a guide if the location is hazardous or with bad view.
• Make sure to prevent people from crossing the moving direction or
be at the direction to be changed.
