SAFETY
• Do not perform demolition work under the
machine. There is a hazard that the
machine may fall down, because the
ground becomes unstable.
• When working on or from the top of
buildings or other structures, check the
strength and the structure before starting
operations. If a building or structure
collapses, serious injury or damage will
result.
• When doing demolition work, do not
perform demolition above your head. There
is a hazard of broken parts falling or of the
building collapsing and causing serious
injury or damage.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING
• Do not use the impact force of the hoe
attachment for breaking work. There is a
hazard of serious injury being caused by
flying pieces of broken materials and by the
damaged hoe attachment.
Operating on slopes is dangerous
When operating on slopes or grades, slewing
or operation of working equipment may
cause the machine to lose stability and tip
over. Avoid operating on slopes whenever
possible.
Fill
• Level off the work area.
• Avoid slewing to the downhill direction with
the bucket full of loaded material. This will
reduce the stability of the machine and
may result in tipping over.
