SAFETY
Travel in narrow or crowded places
When traveling in narrow sites, crowded
places or indoors, operate the machine while
carefully looking around the area and
maintaining the safe speed to avoid contact
accidents.
Precautions when passing through
tunnels or going under bridges
Check the height limit and width limit of
tunnels and bridges beforehand to avoid the
machine from contact with the ceiling or
walls. If contacted, it could result in a serious
accident.
Watch out for hazardous working
conditions
• 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.
• 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.
