SAFETY
Watch out for hazardous working
conditions
PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING
• Never undercut a high bank. Doing so is
dangerous as it may cause ground
collapse.
• Do not operate in places where there is a
danger of falling rocks.
• Maintain a safe distance between the
machine and the edge of the digging site.
Do not dig the ground under the front of
the machine.
• When working close to the cliffs or road
shoulders, set the tires at right angles to
the cliff or road shoulder and the dozer
blade to the front so that it is easier to
escape in case of an emergency.
• Do not enter areas where there is soft
ground. Doing so could cause the machine
to tilt under its own weight, resulting in a
machine tipping over or sinking into the
ground.
• Do not come close to unstable grounds
(cliffs, road shoulders, deep ditches). If the
ground should collapse under the weight or
vibration of the machine, there is a hazard
that the machine may fall or tip over.
· Remember that the soil after heavy rain
or blasting is weak.
· The ground of top of the embankment
and of the circumferences of the
excavated ditches are also weak.
