SAFETY MACHINE OPERATION SAFETY q Check that the travel alarm (if equipped) works properly. q Always lock the door and windows of the operator's com- partment in position (open or closed). On jobsites where there is a hazard of flying objects or of objects entering the operator's compartment, check that the door and windows are securely closed. q If there is an area to the rear of the machine which cannot be seen, position a signal person. Take special care not to hit other machines or people when turning or swinging the machine. Always be sure to carry out the above precautions even when the machine is equipped with mirrors.
A0067200 SAFETY RULES FOR TRAVELING q When traveling on flat ground, keep the work equipment 40 to 50 cm high above the ground. q When traveling on rough ground, travel at low speed and do not operate the steering suddenly. There is danger that the machine may turn over. The work equipment may hit the ground surface and cause the machine to lose its bal- ance, or may damage the machine or structures in the area. q When traveling on rough ground or steep slopes, if the machine is equipped with auto-deceleration, always turn the auto-deceleration switch OFF (cancel). q Avoid traveling over obstacles when possible.
If the machine has to travel over an obstacle, keep the work equipment close to the ground and travel at low speed. Never travel over obstacles which make the machine tilt strongly to one side. q When traveling or carrying out operations, always keep a safe distance from people, structures, or other machines to avoid coming into contact with them. q When passing over bridges or structures, check first that the structure is strong enough to support the weight of the machine. When traveling on public roads, check first with the relevant authorities and follow their instructions. 2-24
