SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
Carry out the following checks before starting the engine at the beginning of the day's work to ensure that there is
no problem with the operation of the machine. If this inspection is not carried out properly, problems may occur with
the operation of the machine, and there is danger that this may lead to serious personal injury or death.
Remove all dirt from the surface of the window glass to ensure a good view.
Carry out the "WALK-AROUND CHECK (PAGE 3-83)".
Remove all dirt from the surface of the lens of the front lamps, working lamps, and rear combination lamp, and
check that they light up correctly.
Check the coolant level, fuel level, and oil level in engine oil pan, check for clogging of the air cleaner, and check
for damage to the electric wiring.
Check that there is no mud or dust accumulated around the movable parts of the accelerator pedal or brake pedal,
and check that the pedals work properly.
Adjust the operator's seat to a position where it is easy to carry out operations, and check that there is no damage
or wear to the seat belt or mounting clamps.
Check that the gauges work properly, check the angle of the mirror, and check that the control levers are all at
NEUTRAL position.
Before starting the engine, check that the gearshift lever is at the P (Parking) position.
Adjust the mirrors so that you can get a good rear-view from the operator's seat.
For the details of adjustment, see "ADJUSTING MIRROR (PAGE 3-98)".
Check that there are no persons or obstacles above, below, or in the area around the machine.
If the operation requires use of the articulation, set the articulate
lock pin (1) is at the FREE position (F).
Before traveling on roads, check that the articulation lock pin (1)
is at the LOCK position (L).
If leaning stopper (2) is inserted, remove it and keep it in the
toolbox.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING ENGINE
Start and operate the machine only while seated.
When starting the engine, sound the horn as a warning.
Do not allow anyone apart from the operator to ride on the machine.
Do not attempt to start the engine by short-circuiting the engine starting circuit. This may cause fire, serious
personal injury or death.
Check that the backup alarm (alarm buzzer when machine travels in reverse) works properly.
