Track Excavator Safety
Minimum levels of insurance coverage, work
permits or certification, physical barriers around
the work site or restricted hours of operation
may be mandated by governing authorities.
There may also be regulations, guidelines,
standards or restrictions on equipment that may
have to be followed for local requirements.
There may also be regulations related to
performing certain kinds of work. If there is any
question about whether your machine and work
site complies with the applicable standards and
regulations contact your local authorities and
agencies.
Avoid entering soft ground. It will be difficult for
the machine to escape.
Avoid operating your machine to close to the edge of cliffs, overhangs, and deep ditches. The ground may
be weak in such areas. If the ground should collapse, the machine could fall or tip over and this could result
in serious injury or death.
Remember that the soil after heavy rain, blasting or after earthquakes, is weakened in these areas.
Earth laid on the ground and the soil near ditches is loose. It can collapse under the weight of vibration of
your machine and cause your machine to tip over.
Install the head guard (FOPS) if working in areas where there is danger of falling rocks.
CHECKS BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
Every day before starting the engine for the first time, carry out the following checks. If these checks are
not carried out properly, there is danger of serious injury.
Completely remove all wood chips, leaves, grass, paper and other flammable materials accumulated in the
engine compartment and around the battery. They could cause a fire. Remove any dirt from the window
glass, mirrors, handrails, and steps.
Do not leave tools or spare parts laying around in the operator's compartment. The vibration of the
machine when traveling or during operations may cause them to fall and damage or break the control
levers or switches. They may also get caught in the gap of the control levers and cause the work equipment
to malfunction or move dangerously. This may lead to unexpected accidents.
Check the coolant level, fuel level, and hydraulic tank oil level, and check for clogged air cleaner and
damage to the electrical wiring.
Adjust the operator's seat to a position where it is easy to operate the machine, and check the seat belt and
mounts for damage and wear.
Check the operation of the gauges and the angle of the mirrors, and check that the safety lever is in
"LOCKED" position.
If any abnormalities are found in the above checks, carry out repairs immediately.
