SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING
Check the position of the undercarriage
(steering device) before start traveling
Equipped with outrigger
Before operating the travel pedal, make sure
that the steering device is to the front of the
operator’s seat. Remember that when the
steering device is to the rear of the operator’s
seat, the steering wheel must be operated in
the reverse direction from when it is to the
front.
Travel safely
• When traveling on a public road, be sure to
lock slewing with the slew lock pin. For
machines with outriggers, retract the
outriggers within the machine width and
install the turnbuckles.
· Make sure that the outrigger pads (the
sections to contact the ground) are within
the machine width. Failure to do so could
cause minor collisions.
• Before traveling, set the machine to the
“travel posture”.
Refer to “Preparing for travel” for further
details.
• When traveling on a road, be sure to lock
the working equipment. If any of the
controls is accidentally touched when it is
unlocked, the machine may suddenly move
and cause serious injury or death.
• Keep in mind that the steering wheel
operation is not possible when the engine
is stopped or if the steering pump
becomes faulty.
