SAFE OPERATION
SAFE OPERATION
Careful operation is your best insurance against an
accident.
Read and understand this manual carefully, before
operating the excavator.
Every user, however experienced, should carefully read
and understand this manual and those of the attachments
and accessories before operating the excavator. The
owner is obliged to inform all operators of these
instructions in detail.
Keep this manual in the storage location. (See "Where to
keep Operator's Manual" in "MAINTENANCE" section.)
1. Know your equipment and its limitations. Read and
understand this entire manual before attempting to
start and operate the excavator.
2. Pay special attention to and obey the danger, warning
and caution labels on the machine.
3. For your safety, a ROPS/OPG (Top Guard Level I)
with a seat belt is installed by KUBOTA.
A
ROPS: Roll-Over Protective Structure
A
OPG (Top Guard Level I): Operator Protective
Guards of Top Guard Level I
OPG (Top Guard Level I) in accordance with
ISO10262 is equivalent in definition to FOPS (Falling
Object Protective Structure).
Always use the seat belt when the machine is
equipped with a ROPS/OPG (Top Guard Level I) as
this combination will reduce the risk of serious injury or
death, should the excavator be upset or falling objects
occur.
Do not modify any structural members of the ROPS/
OPG (Top Guard Level I) by welding, drilling, bending,
grinding or cutting, as this may weaken the structure.
If any component is damaged, replace it. Do not
attempt repairs. If the ROPS/OPG (Top Guard Level I)
is loosened or removed for any reason, make sure all
parts are reinstalled correctly. Tighten mounting bolts
to proper torque.
4. ROPS meets requirements of ISO 3471.
OPG (Top Guard Level I) meets requirements of
OSHA 1926 1003/ISO 10262.
5. The seat belt must be inspected regularly and
replaced if frayed or damaged.
6. Always sit in the operator's seat when starting engine
or operating levers or controls.
7. Study control lever pattern A and pattern B. Then
choose the one which is most familiar.
Familiarize yourself with the pattern selected by
operating the unit slowly and at low engine speed.
8. Do not operate the excavator while under the influence
of alcohol, medication, controlled substances or while
fatigued.
