Page: 39 / 452

• Never jump on or off the machine. Never get on or off a moving machine.
• If the machine starts to move when there is no operator on the machine, do not jump on to the machine and
try to stop it.
LIFTING OF PERSONNEL PROHIBITED
Under no circumstances should this machine be used for the lifting of personnel.
NO PEOPLE ON ATTACHMENTS
Never let anyone ride on the work equipment or other attachments. There is a hazard of falling and suffering
serious personal injury or death.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STANDING UP FROM OPERATOR'S SEAT
Be sure to lower the work equipment completely to the ground
before standing up from the operator's seat, such as when
opening or closing the front window or ceiling window, when re-
moving or installing the bottom window, or adjusting the posi-
tion of the seat. Operate the operating portion (g) of the lock
lever (1) to set it to LOCK position (L) and stop the engine.
If the control levers are touched by mistake, there is danger
that the machine may suddenly move and cause serious per-
sonal injury or death.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN LEAVING MACHINE
If the proper procedures are not taken when parking the machine, the machine may suddenly move off by itself,
and this may lead to serious personal injury or death. Always observe the following.
• When leaving the machine, be sure to make the undercar-
riage and upper structure point to the same direction, and
lower the work equipment to the ground. Operate the oper-
ating portion (g) of the lock lever (1) to set it to LOCK posi-
tion (L) and stop the engine.
• If the operator's seat and the console are placed forward,
your body or clothes may touch the levers. Move them
backward to secure a sufficient space to get off the ma-
chine.
• Lock all the places and always take the key with you and
keep it in the specified location.
EMERGENCY EXIT FROM OPERATOR'S CAB
• If it should be impossible to open the door of the cab, break the window glass with the hammer supplied
and use the window as an emergency escape.
• When escaping, remove the pieces of glass from the window frame first and be careful not to cut yourself
on the glass. Be careful also not to slip on the broken pieces of glass on the ground.
