When carrying out the checks, use a wide area where there are no obstructions. Do not allow anyone near the
machine.
• Check the operation of the gauges and equipment, and check the operation of the blade, ripper, brakes,
travel system, and steering system.
• Checks for any abnormality in the sound of the machine, vibration, heat, smell, or gauges; check also that
there is no leakage of air, oil, or fuel.
• If any abnormality is found, carry out repair immediately.
If the machine is used when it is not in proper condition, it may lead to serious injury or damage to the
machine.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING OFF
Check the direction of the track frame before operating the travel lever.
• When the sprocket is at the front, the operaton of the travel lever is
reversed, so operate the machine carefully.

sons or obstacles in the surrounding area.
• When moving the machine off, sound the horn to warn people in the
surrounding area.
• Always sit in the operator's seat when driving the machine.
• Always close the door of the operator' cab and check that the door is
locked in position securely.
CHECK WHEN CHANGING DIRECTION
To prevent serious injury or death, always do the following before moving the machine or doing the levelling
work.
• Before changing between forward and reverse, reduce speed and stop the machine.
• Before operating the machine, sound the horn to warn people in the area.
• Check that there is no one near the machine. Be particularly careful to check behind the machine.
• When operating in areas that may be hazardous or have poor visibility, designate a person to direct worksite

Always be sure to carry out the above precautions even when the machine is equipped with a backup alarm
