WHEN OPERATING
When operating:ALL-0000-001K11A
CHECKS BEFORE OPERATION
CHECKS BEFORE OPERATION:PC-0000-184K00A
If the checks before starting are not carried out properly, the machine will be unable to display its full performance,
and there is also danger that it may lead to serious personal injury or death.
When carrying out the checks, move the machine to a wide area where there are no obstructions, and pay careful
attention to the surrounding area. Do not allow anyone near the machine.
q
Always wear the seatbelt. There is danger that you may be
thrown out of the operator's seat and suffer serious injury
when the brakes are applied suddenly.
q
Check that the movement of the machine matches the dis-
play on the control pattern card.
If it does not match, replace it immediately with the correct
control pattern card.
q
Check the operating condition of the machine, work equip-
ment, and travel and swing systems.
q
Check for any problem in the sound of the machine, vibra-
tion, heat, smell, or gauges; check also that there is no
leakage of oil or fuel.
q
If any problem is found, carry out repairs immediately.
WHEN TRAVELING IN FORWARD OR REVERSE AND SWINGING
WHEN TRAVELING IN FORWARD OR REVERSE AND SWINGING:PC-0000-185K00A
q
When travelling, drive with sprocket (1) at the rear of the
machine. If sprocket (1) is at the front, the operation of the
travel levers will be the opposite of the actual direction of
travel, so there is a hazard that the machine may travel in
an unexpected direction, leading to serious injury or death.
q
Always lock all the door and windows of the operator's com-
partment in position (open or closed).
On jobsites where there is a hazard of flying objects or of
objects entering the operator's compartment, check that all
the door and windows are securely closed.
q
Do not allow anyone apart from the operator to ride on the
machine.
q
If there are any persons in the area around the machine,
there is danger that they may be hit or caught by the
machine, and this may lead to serious personal injury or
death. Before starting travel or swing, be sure to observe
the following items:
q
Always operate the machine only when seated.
q
Before starting to move, check again that there is no
person or obstacle in the surrounding area.
q
Before starting to move, sound the horn to warn people
in the surrounding area.
q
Check that the travel alarm and other alarms work prop-
erly.
q
If there is an area to the rear of the machine that cannot
be seen, position a signalman. Be extremely careful not
to hit any person or object, and travel or swing slowly.
Always be sure to carry out the above precautions even when
the machine is equipped with mirrors and cameras.
