SAFETY
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Exhaust fumes from the engine are
poisonous
• Do not operate the engine in an enclosed
area without adequate ventilation.
• If natural ventilation is not possible, install
ventilators, fans, exhaust extension pipes
or other venting devices.
• Do not perform the DPF regeneration in
poorly-ventilated indoor spaces, as smoke
could be generated during the DPF
regeneration or carbon monoxide
poisoning could result.
Handling asbestos dust
Inhaling asbestos dust can cause lung
cancer. When handling the materials which
may contain asbestos, take the following
precautions:
• Never use compressed air for cleaning.
• Avoid brushing or grinding parts containing
asbestos.
• For clean up, use a vacuum equipped with
a high efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA).
• Wear the stipulated respirator if there is no
other way to control the dust. When
working indoors, install a ventilation system
with a macromolecular filter.
• Do not allow unauthorized personnel in the
work area while working.
• Follow the rules and environmental
standard applicable to the work area.
AG7A011
Be careful not to get crushed or cut
• Never put your hands, feet or other parts of
your body between the machine body or
bucket and lift arms, or between a cylinder
and moving part on the working
equipment. The sizes of these gaps
change when the machine moves, and a
person could suffer severe injury or death.
• The lift arms move closely along the
outside of the side screens; never put you
arm or other part of your body out of the
side screens.
• The lift arms move closely along the
canopy/cab; do not stand on or lean
against the machine.
