1. BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Negligence of these instructions can lead to accidents.
■
Do not operate the machine except from the operator’s seat. Do not drive in a
standing posture
■
While making turns, do not run at a high speed and do not turn the steering wheel
abruptly and sharply. High speed turns, especially on soft or uneven ground, could
result in a rollover
■
For the traveling on structures such as a bridge, make certain that they can support
your machine. Before traveling on the structure, you must know the load capacity of
the structure and the load weight of the machine you are operating to ensure safe
travel across the structure
■
Do not make turns on a slope and do not travel across sidehill. If necessary to do
so, go down straight along the slope to the flat ground, move sideways and go up
straight to the destination
■
When parking
• Select level and hard ground. If necessary to park on a
slope, block the front of the drums on the downside of
the slope.
• When required to park on a public road, provide
necessary delineators such as flags, barriers and
illumination. However, be sure they do not obstruct
traffic.
• When getting off the machine, stop the engine and
remove the key from the ignition switch.
1.6 Loading and Unloading
• Loading and unloading can be very dangerous.
Use extreme care.
• Select level and hard ground leaving a sufficient
distance from the shoulder.
• Use sturdy ramps with proper width, length and
thickness which allow safe loading and unloading.
If they deflect considerably under load, apply
wooden blocks to reinforce the ramps.

1. BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Negligence of these instructions can lead to accidents.
• To prevent your machine from crosswise slippage, keep the ramps free from oil, mud,
debris, etc. The drum must also be free from extraneous matter that can cause slippage.
• Do not steer your machine on the ramps. If the machine is facing in the wrong direction,
allow it to dismount from the ramps, correct the direction and try again.
• Do not use kinked, twisted or damaged cables for crane or winch operation. Use cables
with ample strength.
• When loading is complete, secure the machine with wooden blocks placed under the
drums and chains fastened to the machine.
1.7 Transportation
• Follow required regulations.
• Select a transporting route according to the overall width, overall height and gross weight
of the trailer with the roller loaded.
• Know the maximum height clearance of the machine loaded on the transport trailer before
hauling under bridges and other structures.
1.8 Handling the Battery
■
When handling the battery
• Battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid. It will destroy
clothing and skin. If it touches your clothing or skin,
flush with large quantities of water.
• In case of eye contact, flush with clean water and seek
medical help.
• If swallowed, drink large amount of water, milk, beaten
egg or vegetable oil, and get medical help.
• Wear safety goggles when handling the battery.
Wear safety goggles, full face shield, rubber gloves and
rubber apron when adding fluids to the battery.
• The battery generates flammable gases that can cause an explosion. Do not smoke close
to the battery. Keep the battery away from flames, sparks and ignition sources.
WARNING
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Wash hand after handing.
