BE CAREFUL OF TRIPPING 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 trip or fall when the ground loosens due to mass
and/or vibration of the Machine. Be especially careful that the
ground is likely loosen 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 followings to prevent serious injuries and death
accidents when traveling over a 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 sudden, stopping sudden stop and swinging
sudden. 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 travels and other operations to be
unstable. Be very careful.
• Under cold weather, check that the load to be hoisted is not frozen
stuck to the ground or other substance. Attempt to hoist without
knowing the load is frozen 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 stuck frozen 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.
CAUTIONS WHEN PARKING
• Park at a location where the ground is level, rock falls and
landslides do not occur, is a lowland and flood does not occur.
• To park on a slope for unavoidable reason, use blocks as pawls to
immobilize the Machine.
• When parking on the street, place the flags, protection barriers,
lighting and similar objects, and caution notices without interfering
the traffic, so that other traveling machines can notice clearly.
• Stop the engine before leaving the Machine.
Always bring back the starter key with you and store in a fixed
location.
• Stop the engine before leaving the Machine.
• When parking, the lock lever must be placed to “Lock”.
