Cautions When Snow Covered or
Frozen
WARNING! ALWAYS observe followings to
prevent serious injuries and death accidents
when travelling 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
travelling and avoid starting sudden,
stopping sudden stop and slewing 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.
