If the failure is found, repair it immediately. - ・ Well understand how to use the device for safety. - ・ Never remove the device for safety and control it so that it always functions correctly. ## F. TAG OUT MACHINE DURING MAINTENANCE Before performing any inspection or maintenance procedures to the machine, post to the operators controls a "DO NOT OPERATE" tag to warn persons not to start the machine. Inform the supervisor and all operators that the machine is under inspection or maintenance and they will be informed when the machine is ready for normal operation. Order tag P/No. YN20T01320P1 <!-- image --> ## G. ENSURE SAFETY AT THE WORKSITE - ・ Know the work area! Before operating the machine, carefully survey and record the land and worksite features to prevent the machine from falling or the soil from caving in. - ・ It is dangerous to allow other personnel to enter into the working area. Make the working area off-limits to other people by providing barricades. Provide a flagman in working areas with heavy traffic to avoid accidents. ## H. ENGAGE SAFETY LOCK LEVER BEFORE LEAVING MACHINE Before leaving the operator's seat, move the safety lock lever to the "LOCKED" (Up) position. This will not allow operation of any hydraulic controls should they be accidentally moved. If the lever is not set to the "LOCKED" position and hydraulic controls are touched accidentally, the machine may move suddenly resulting in serious injury or death. Before leaving the machine, lower the bucket to the ground, place the safety lock lever in the "LOCKED" (Up) position, stop the engine and remove the key from the starter key switch. <!-- image --> A.
