Depending on type of combination of work equipment, there is hazard that the work equipment may hit the cab
or other parts of the machine. During operation, an interference of the work equipment with the machine may
cause a serious personal injury. Before using unfamiliar work equipment, check there is hazard of interfer-
ence, and operate within not contact.

eral information related to attachments in this manual.
PRECAUTIONS RELATED TO CAB GLASS 2
q
If the cab glass is broken during operations, stop operations and repair the cab glass immediately.
q
If the cab glass on the work equipment side is broken, there is a hazard that the operator may be directly hit or
caught in the work equipment. If the glass is broken, stop operations immediately and replace the glass.
q
The ceiling window is made of plastic, so if it is scratched, the visibility will become poor and there is danger
that it may break. If it is scratched, replace it with the new part as soon as possible. If the window is scratched
and is not replaced, there is danger that any rocks falling on it will cause it to break, leading to injury to the
operator.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN RUNNING ENGINE INSIDE BUILDING 2
The engine exhaust gas contains substances that may damage
your health or even cause death. Start or operate the engine in
a place where there is good ventilation. If the engine or
machine must be operated inside a building or under ground,
where the ventilation is poor, take steps to ensure that the
engine exhaust gas is removed and that ample fresh air is
brought in.
