1.2 PREPARING FOR SAFE OPERATION
PROVIDE SAFETY DEVICES FOR SURE
• Check that all guards, covers and mirrors are attached properly. Repair immediately if damaged.
• Understand how to use the safety devices well and use properly.
• Do not detach the safety devices under any circumstances. Keep control to achieve proper function all
the time.
• Improper use of the safety devices may lead to serious accidents.
• Do not rely too much on the safety devices whilst operating.
PREPARE FOR ABNORMALITY
• Make sure to carry out inspections and maintenances, and make
an effort to prevent accidents before happening.
• Whenever you feel an abnormality in the machine, abort the
operation immediately, ensure safety and report to the manager.
• Assign in advance who takes which solution to prevent secondary
accident.
• Never operate the machine when fuel or hydraulic oil is leaking
from the machine. Report the manager about the abnormality,
and repair the leaking point of the fuel/hydraulic oil completely
before use.
The fuel for this machine is diesel fuel. Be especially careful for
the presence of fuel leak.
• Before leaving the machine, lower the hoisted load to the ground,
stop the engine and pull out the starter switch key.
TEMPORARY STORAGE WHEN ABNORMALITY IS FOUND WITHIN MACHINE
In case the machine is found with an abnormality and is therefore
stored temporarily waiting for service, apply following measures to
notify all persons in the office that “the use is prohibited due to
failure.”
• Put on warning tags on the operation lever and other applicable
parts.
Write clearly the information such as abnormality contents, name
and contact of the storage manager, and the term of storage.
• Keep it immovable when parking by, for instance, putting the
blocks on the rubber tracks as pawls.
• Pull out the engine key and keep it with you.
WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND CLOTHES SUITABLE FOR WORK
• Always put on a helmet and safety shoes. Be sure to wear
protective equipment appropriate to the work such as goggles,
masks, gloves, ear protection and safety harnesses.
• Long hair that protrudes from the helmet is in danger of getting
caught in the machine, so take precautions so that it will not
become entangled.
• Do not wear loose garments or accessories as these may get
caught on operation levers, the start switch, the emergency stop
switch or other protruding parts, leading to unexpected movement
of the machine.
• Check the functioning of all protective equipment before use.
