SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1B0BF00
Keep clear of the moving fan and belt
• Any object that can be easily caught in moving parts
must be kept away.
• If a hand or tool becomes trapped in the fan or fan belt,
you could lose your finger. Do not touch the fan or belt
while they are moving.
When working under the machine
• Before performing maintenance or repairs under the
machine, set all movable equipment against the
ground or in the lowermost position.
• Place chocks under the crawler tracks to secure the
machine.
• If it is unavoidably necessary to work under the raised
machine or working equipment, be sure to firmly sup-
port it by using an arm stopper, wooden block, stand
or safety brace. Never go under the raised machine or
working equipment without such protection measures.
When working on the machine
• To prevent slipping/falling from machine, clear the
footing and observe the following:
a. Do not spill oil or grease on the machine.
b. Keep the machine tidy and clean.
c. Be careful when walking around the machine.
• Never jump down from the machine. Climb up/down
the ladder (steps) holding the handrail to support your
weight in a three point secure stance (hand and feet).
• Wear protective gear according to the work involved.
Securing the working equipment
When replacing/repairing the bucket teeth or side cutter,
secure the relevant equipment to prevent any accidental
movement.
Secure the engine hood and guard when they are
open
Firmly secure the machine when the engine hood or
guard is left open. Do not keep the hood or guard open
on a windy day or if the machine is parked on a slope.
Place heavy components in a stable position
When it is necessary to temporally place a heavy compo-
nent, such as the hoe attachment, on the ground during
removal or installation, be sure to place it in a stable po-
sition.
