Precautions on Safety
WARNING
Heed the following when removing or installing an attachment or option:
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
Consult with a Takeuchi dealer before installing optional attachments.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
Do not use attachments that have not been approved by Takeuchi or a Takeuchi
dealer. Doing so may compromise safety or adversely affect the machine’s operation
or service life.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
Takeuchi will not be held responsible for any injuries, accidents or damage to
products caused by the use of a non-approved attachment.
¡ ¡
¡ ¡
¡
Choose a flat, hard surface to perform the operations. Also make sure there is enough
light and good ventilation.
¡ ¡
¡ ¡
¡
Clean the area, remove any articles that may get in the way or be dangerous, and
remove any spilt oil or grease.
¡ ¡
¡ ¡
¡
When performing lifting operations, determine a person to lead the operations and
always follow that person’s instructions.
• Follow the leader’s instructions on operating methods and procedures.
• Determine a signal leader and heed this person’s signals.
¡ ¡
¡ ¡ ¡
When removing or installing the hoe attachment, place it in a stable position so that
it does not tip over.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
Due to the risk of loads falling and/or hitting people, do not allow unauthorized
personnel in the work area.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
Use the crane to carry heavy objects (25 kg (55 lb.) or greater).
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
When removing heavy parts, be sure to prop them up before removing them. When
lifting them with a crane, be careful to balance them properly.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
Operating with loads suspended with the crane is dangerous. Place loads on a
stand and check for safety.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
When attaching the boom or arm, failure to follow proper procedures could result in
serious damage. Consult with a Takeuchi dealer beforehand.
Precautions on Installing Attachments
After replacing optional attachments or other special attachments, test-run them, then inspect
the hydraulic oil level and add oil if necessary.
In addition, consult with a Takeuchi dealer for details of removal and installation procedures.
