HANDLING ILLUMINATION DEVICES
• Use explosion proof illumination device when inspecting the
fuel, oil, battery fluid or similar substance. Failure to use
explosion proof illumination device may cause serious fire
and explosion.
• Attempt to work without using illumination device in a dark
place may cause injury or other issue. Always use
illumination device.
Do not use a lighter or other burning object instead of the
illumination device even if it is dark. Such use may cause
fire, and furthermore the battery gas may catch fire and
explode.
STOP ENGINE BEFORE INSPECTION OR MAINTENANCE
• Before inspection or maintenance, always park the Machine
at a location where the ground is level and firm, and
rock-falls, landslides and flooding do not occur, fully retract
and lower the boom, and stop the engine.
• Operate each of the crane operation levers back and forth
as well as leftward and rightward 2 or 3 times to relieve the
pressure remaining in the hydraulic circuits.
• Apply pawls to prevent crawler from moving.
• Persons in charge of the maintenance should pay attention
to prevent parts of the body and clothes from contacting the
moving parts.
FIRE RISK PREVENTION
Always observe the following during maintenance where the
fuel, oil, battery or other substance that may catch fire is
handled.
• Keep the fuel, oil and any other easily combustible oil and
fats away from fire during storage.
• Do not leave the site when replenishing the fuel or oil.
• Use incombustible cleaning oil for the objects such as the
components, and do not use diesel fuel, petrol or anything
else that may catch fire.
• Do not smoke during inspection and maintenance. Smoke at
a designated location.
• When inspecting fuel, oil, battery fluid or similar, use
explosion proof illumination devices but do not use fire of a
lighter or a match for illumination.
• Loosened or damaged electrical connections may short the
circuit and result in fire. Inspect accordingly before starting
the work.
• Check to make sure a fire extinguisher is near the
inspection/maintenance site.
