SAFETY
Ensure good visibility
Check the field of view before operating the
machine.
• When working in dark places, turn on the
machine’s working lights and headlights
and additional lighting equipment installed,
as necessary.
• When visibility is poor due to bad weather
(fog, snow, rain or a cloud of dust), stop
operating the machine and wait until
visibility improves.
• Clean the windows, mirrors, lights and
camera to ensure good visibility. Adjust the
mirror and camera to the best positions so
that the operator can see the rear view
(blind spots) from the operator’s seat.
• Unauthorized machine modifications or
installation of unapproved attachments
could impair the visibility. The operator’s
field of view must conform to ISO 5006.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING
PRECAUTIONS WHEN
OPERATING
Operate the machine with the maximum
crawler width
• Always operate the machine with the
crawler width extended to 1500 mm (59.1
in.) to maximize the machine stability. If the
machine is operated with the crawler width
narrowed 1100 mm (43.3 in.), the machine
may tip over due to its poor stability.
• If the machine must be operated with the
narrowed crawler width 1100 mm (43.3 in.),
traveling should be done after folding the
hoe attachment, lowering the boom to
lower the center of gravity and keeping the
machine facing forward.
