BE CAREFUL OF TRIPPING ON UNSTABLE GROUND
Always observe the following to prevent serious injuries and
death accidents when travelling over an unstable ground for
unavoidable reasons.
• Do not enter soft ground area. The machine may get stuck.
• The ground near cliff, roadside and deep gully is unstable,
so avoid going near such ground.
The Machine may trip or fall when the ground loosens due to
mass and/or vibration of the Machine. Be especially careful
after rain, use of dynamite, or earthquakes, as the ground
will be unstable.
• Avoid going near the earth fills or vicinity of dug gutter that
are instable.
Crumbles caused by mass and/or vibration of the Machine
may cause the Machine to tilt.
CAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELLING SNOW COVERED OR FROZEN GROUND
ALWAYS observe the following to prevent serious injuries and
death accidents when travelling over snow covered ground or
frozen road for unavoidable reason.
• The snow covered grounds and frozen roads cause slips
even when the inclination is small, so decrease the speed
when travelling and avoid sudden starting/stopping/slewing.
Uphill and downhill are especially likely to cause slips and
thus dangerous.
• Ground of the frozen road becomes soft when the air
temperature rises and causes the Machine travels and other
operations to be unstable. Be very careful.
• In cold weather conditions, check that the load before being
hoisted is not frozen to the ground or other substance.
Attempt to hoist without knowing the load is frozen and stuck
to the ground or other substance is dangerous.
• Refrain from directly touching metal surface with your hands
or fingers in cold and harsh weather conditions.
Touching metal surface may result in skin freezing to the
metal surface.
• Remove snow and/or ice laid on the Machine that causes
the safety nameplates to be hard to read. Be especially
careful to securely remove those that are on the boom and
thus may fall.
CAUTIONS WHEN PARKING
• Park at a location where the ground is level; rock falls,
landslides, and flooding does not occur.
• To park on a slope for unavoidable reason, use blocks as
pawls to immobilize the Machine.
• When parking on the street, place the flags, protection
barriers, lighting and similar objects, and caution notices
without interfering the traffic, so that other travelling
machines can notice clearly.
• Stop the engine before leaving the Machine.
Always bring back the starter key with you and store in a
designated location.
