PRECAUTION DURING OPERATION
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
SAFETY AT WORKSITE
● Before starting the engine, thoroughly check the area for any
unusual conditions that could be dangerous.
● Before starting the engine, examine the terrain and soil condi-
tions of the work site. Determine the best and safest method
of operation.
● Make the slope as horizontal as possible before continuing
operations.
● If you need to operate on a street, protect pedestrians and
cars by designating a person for work site traffic duty or by
installing fences around the work site.
● If water lines, gas lines, and high-voltage electrical lines may
be buried under the work site, contact each utility and identify
their locations. Be careful not to sever or cut any of these
lines.
● Check the depth and flow of water before operating in water
or crossing a river. NEVER be in water which is in excess of
the permissible water depth.
Permissible water depth, see "PRECAUTIONS FOR
OPERATION (180)"
FIRE PREVENTION
● Thoroughly remove wood chips, leaves, paper and other
flammable things accumulated in the engine compartment.
They could cause a fire.
● Check fuel, lubrication, and hydraulic systems for leaks. Have
any leaks repaired. Wipe up any excess oil, fuel or other flam-
mable fluids.
Check point, see "WALK-AROUND CHECK (145)"
● Be sure a fire extinguisher is present and working.
IN OPERATOR’S CAB
● Do not leave tools or spare parts lying around in the opera-
tor’s compartment. They may damage or break the control
levers or switches. Always put them in the tool box on the
undercarriage.
● Keep the cab floor, controls, steps and handrails free of oil,
grease, snow, and excess dirt.
