SAFETY
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY FEATURES
Be sure that all guards and covers are in their proper position. Have guards and covers repaired immediately if
they are damaged.
Understand the method of use of safety features and use them properly.
Never remove any safety features. Always keep them in good operating condition.
KEEP MACHINE CLEAN
If water gets into the electrical system, there is a hazard that it will cause malfunctions or misoperation. Do not
use water or steam to wash the electrical system (sensors, connectors).
If inspection and maintenance is carried out when the machine
is still dirty with mud or oil, there is a hazard that you will slip and
fall, or that dirt or mud will get into your eyes. Always keep the
machine clean.
INSIDE OPERATOR'S COMPARTMENT
When entering the operator's compartment, always remove all mud and oil from the soles of your shoes.
If you operate the pedal with mud or oil affixed to your shoes, your foot may slip and this may cause a serious
accident.
Do not leave parts or tools lying around the operator's compartment.
Do not stick suction pads to the window glass. Suction pads act as a lens and may cause fire.
Do not use cellular telephones inside the operator's compartment when driving or operating the machine.
Never bring any dangerous objects such as flammable or explosive items into the operator's compartment.
ALWAYS APPLY LOCK WHEN LEAVING OPERATOR'S SEAT
Before adjusting or standing up from the operator's seat, always set shift lever (1) to the N position and parking
brake switch (2) to the PARKING position, then stop the engine.
If the shift lever or dump lever are touched by mistake, there is danger that the machine may suddenly move and
cause serious personal injury or damage.
When leaving the machine, always place shift lever (1) at neutral
and set parking brake switch (2) to the PARKING position.
Lower the dump body, set the dump lever to the HOLD position,
and lock with the safety lock knob. Apply all the locks and
always remember to take the key with you and keep it in the
fixed place.
