PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATIONS
1.7.1
STARTING
STARTING ENGINE
ONLY ONE OPERATOR IS ALLOWED TO ENTER THE OPERATOR'S STATION.
Only one operator should be in the operator's station while operation. Allowing another person to ride
in the operator's station hinders your operation and may cause personal injury. Do not allow another
person to ride in the operator's station as well as on the machine body.
SEAT BELT
Fasten the seat belt securely to prevent hitting heavily to inside the cab, being thrown out of the cab
and being crushed under the machine when the machine tips/rolls over. If the seat belt is not
fastened, it may cause severe injury or death. Fasten it without fail whenever taking the seat.
Make sure that there is no abnormality on the attaching bracket and belt before fastening the seat
belt.
Replace the seat belts with new ones every 3 years even when damage or deterioration is not found.
PRECAUTIONS OF STARTING THE ENGINE
・
Move the pilot control shut-off lever to the "LOCKED" position.
・
Be sure to start the engine from the operator's seat.
・
Sound the horn before starting the engine to warn surrounding personnel that the machine is
being started.
・
Do not start the engine by short-circuit across the starter terminals or the battery. The machine
might move unexpectedly and the electric system might be damaged.
CHECK AFTER STARTING ENGINE
After starting the engine, check the performances of devices such as the bucket, arm, boom and dozer
(if equipped) and the performances of traveling and swinging.
Perform the check in a large space where there are no other persons and obstacles.
Failing to perform the check after starting the engine may cause late detection of a defect, resulting
in severe injury and damage to the machine.
When a failure is found, repair it immediately.
WARM UP
If the equipment/attachment is operated without enough warming-up running, the response of the
equipment/attachment to the control lever is delayed and sometimes it moves unexpectedly and
causes severe injury. Do not fail to warm up the machine. Especially in cold weather, the sufficient
warming-up is necessary.
