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, to make it easier to escape if
there is any problem, set the crawlers at
right angles to the cliff or road shoulder and
the dozer blade to the front when carrying
out operations.
• 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.
