SAFETY PRECAUTION DURING OPERATION WARNING: Failure to follow these safety precautions may lead to a serious accident. VENTILATION FOR ENCLOSED AREAS If it is necessary to start the engine within an enclosed area, pro- vide adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes from the engine can KILL. PRECAUTIONS FOR MIRRORS, WINDOWS AND LIGHTS G Remove all dirt from the surface of the windows and lights to ensure that you can see well. G Adjust the rear view mirror so that you can see clearly from the operator’s seat, and always keep the surface of the mirror clean. If any glass is broken, replace it with a new part.
G Check that the head lamps and working lamps are installed to match the operating conditions. Check also that they light up properly. OPERATING MACHINE WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE G Walk around for machine again just before mounting it, to check for people and objects that might be in the way. G NEVER start the engine if a warning tag has been attached to the wrist control. G Before starting the engine, sound the horn as an alert. G Start and operate the machine only while seated. G Do not allow anyone other than the operator to ride in the cab or on the machine body. G For machines equipped with a reverse alarm buzzer, check that the warning device operates correctly.
CHECK DIRECTION BEFORE STARTING MACHINE Before operating the travel lever, check the direction of the under carriage. If the fixed axle is at the front, the forward/reverse pedal and steering will function in the opposite direction.
