OPERATING THE MACHINE
INSPECTION AFTER WARM-UP
After warming up the engine and machine
(hydraulic oil), perform the checks and
inspections described below, and repair if
necessary.
1. Check that the warning lamps and meters
are as follows:
· Are all warning lamps off?
· Is the water temperature level within the
green range?
2. Check that there are no irregularities in the
exhaust color, sound and vibrations.
3. Raise the safety lock lever to the locked

operating and travel levers are locked.
TRAVELING THE MACHINE
• Before traveling, set the machine to the
“travel posture”.
Refer to “Preparing for travel” for further
details.
• When traveling on a road, be sure to
lock the working equipment. If any of
the controls is accidentally touched
when it is unlocked, the machine may
suddenly move and cause serious injury
or death.
• Keep in mind that the steering wheel
operation is not possible when the
engine is stopped or if the steering
pump becomes faulty.
• When traveling on a public road, be sure
to lock slewing/swinging with the slew/
swing lock pin. For machines with
outriggers, retract the outriggers and
install the stoppers.
