4.2 AFTER STARTING ENGINE
INSPECTION AFTER STARTING ENGINE
Omitting the inspections after starting the engine results in delay to discover the Machine
abnormalities, and may result in accidents and Machine damages.
Inspection should be carried out in a clear area. No unauthorized persons should be able to
approach the Machine.
• Inspect the equipment operation conditions, Machine traveling conditions, outrigger
operation conditions, winch winding up/down operation, boom derricking, and crane
operation conditions such as extension, retraction and slewing.
• Inspect the sound, vibration, heat and odor of the Machine, and check for instrument errors,
air leaks, oil leaks, fuel leaks, water leaks and other bad factors. Be especially careful for the
fuel leak.
• Always repair broken part whenever an abnormality is found.
Attempt to use without servicing may result in unexpected accidents and/or Machine failures.
CAUTIONS WHEN STARTING TO MOVE MACHINE
To prevent serious injuries and accidental deaths, implement
the following actions before moving the machine.
• Set the Machine to the travelling posture in the right figure.
Before traveling, be sure to stow the hook block completely.
• Make sure the boom is fully lowered and retracted.
• Fix the hook block at the stowage position.
• Retract the outrigger.
See “OPERATION 2.5 MACHINE TRAVELLING
POSTURE” for details.
• Make sure to check around again so that no one or no object
is in the vicinity before starting to move.
• Honk the horn for warning before starting to move.
• Be sure to sit in the driver’s seat during traveling operation
of this Machine.
• The Machine is prohibited to travel when a person or load is
on the carrier or the boom.
• When travelling, stow hook and outrigger, and make sure
the surrounding area is safe.
• When stowing outriggers, insert each position pin
completely to lock.
CAUTIONS WHEN MOVING FORWARD/BACKWARD OR CHANGING DIRECTION
Always observe the following to prevent serious injuries and
accidental death when moving the Machine.
• Drop the speed early and wait until the Machine stops
before changing from forward to backward, or backward to
forward.
• Honk the horn and alert to the people nearby before
changing between forward/backward movements or
changing direction.
• Check that no one is around the Machine.
The front of the Machine frame requires special attention
because certain part of vision is blocked, so stop the
Machine as necessary and make sure no one is in front or
around.
• Assign a guide if the location is hazardous or with bad view.
• Make sure to prevent people from encroaching on the
machine pathway.
