SAFETY
Ensure good visibility
Check the field of view before operating the
machine.
• When working in dark places, turn on the
machine’s working lights and headlights
and additional lighting equipment installed,
as necessary.
• When visibility is poor due to bad weather
(fog, snow, rain or a cloud of dust), stop
operating the machine and wait until
visibility improves.
• Clean the windows, mirrors, lights and
camera to ensure good visibility. Adjust the
mirror and camera to the best positions so
that the operator can see the rear view
(blind spots) from the operator’s seat.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING
Do not permit riders on the machine
Do not allow anyone to ride on any part of
the machine at any time while traveling or
operating.
Check if the work area is safe and secure
before operation
AG7A031
• Confirm the performance limits of the
machine.
• Use a signal person at road shoulders,
narrow places or where your vision is
obstructed.
• Never allow anyone to enter the machine’s
slewing radius and path.
• Signal your intention to move by sounding
the horn.
• There is a blind spot in the rear of the
machine. Before traveling in reverse, check
that the area is safe and clear.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN
OPERATING
Operate the machine with the maximum
crawler width
• Always operate the machine with the
crawler width extended to 1020 mm (40.2
in.) to maximize the machine stability. If the
machine is operated with the crawler width
narrowed (750 mm, 29.5 in.), the machine
may tip over due to its poor stability.
• If the machine must be operated with the
narrowed crawler width (750 mm, 29.5 in.),
traveling should be done after folding the
hoe attachment, lowering the boom to
lower the center of gravity and keeping the
machine facing forward.
AD6A001
• Unauthorized machine modifications or
installation of unapproved attachments
could impair the visibility. The operator’s
field of view must conform to ISO 5006.
