SAFETY
1-7 SAFE TRAVEL
ALWAYS CHECK THE TRAVEL
DIRECTION.
ALWAYS check in which direction the
superstructure faces before controlling the
travel levers. The machine is likely to travel in
the opposite direction to your expectation
when the superstructure directly faces to the
rear.
MAINTAIN OVERHEAD CLEARANCES.
ALWAYS be on the alert for overhead
obstacles and be sure there is adequate side
clearance when traveling. Get the assistance
of the man on the ground when clearances
cannot be ascertained from the operator’s
position.
CAREFULLY TRAVEL THE MACHINE IN A
NARROW AREA AND LOW CLEARANCE.
NEVER travel in an area where persons are
coming and going or there are many objects.
ALWAYS keep a safety distance around the
machine. In a narrow area, place a signal
person to guide the operator.
Before traveling, keep away persons from the
traveling range.
