2.6 START MOVING MACHINE
• Do not allow anyone around the machine.
• Clear away all the obstacles on the travelling path.
Check for projections and grooves on the ground surface where the machine travels
especially when it travels backwards. Remove obstacles from the surface if required.
• Check safety in the vicinity of the machine and honk the horn before starting to move
the machine.
• To start the machine, control the engine at low speeds, manipulate the left and right
control levers slowly at the same time, and check the machine for the travelling speed.
Do not make a sudden start especially when you are going backward. This could cause
a serious accident.
• Since a blind spot exists at the front and the left corner of the machine, be sure to
check the monitor view while driving the machine.
• If you cannot verify the safety because the driving direction is out of view, stop driving
and check the safety for the travelling direction. Assign a guide person if necessary
depending on the worksite situation.

switch (1) (Travel/Outrigger/Crane) on the monitor, or
