［ ## 1.4 PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION <!-- image --> READ THE OPERATOR'S MANUAL Read, understand and follow the safety messages and instructions in this manual. If these safety messages are not followed, serious injury or death could occur. ## 1.4.1 STARTING ## CHECK A "DO NOT OPERATE" TAG Before starting the engine, check display of warning tags. If warning tags are displayed, do not start the engine. The warning tags are used to notify that the machine is in an inoperable condition. Report this situation to a supervisor of the machine and do not start the engine until the warning tags are removed. <!-- image --> ## ONLY THE OPERATOR IS ALLOWED IN THE CAB The operator is the only person that should be on or near the machine and in the cab. Do not allow any other personnel to be present in the cab or on the machine. ## CHECK WORKING SITE AND SET UP BARRICADES To prevent serious injury, death and property damage, before you start the engine and before you move the machine: - · Check that no one is on, under, and around the machine. Make sure that all personnel are clear of the machine and surrounding area. - · Check there are no other machines or obstacles in the area surrounding the machine. - · Set up barricades to prevent unauthorized personnel and / or machines from entering the working site. ## PRE-OPERATION SAFETY CHECK To prevent serious injury or death, before operating: - · Close and lock the doors and windows. - · Close and lock the access panels and doors. - · Adjust mirrors for maximum visibility around the machine. See "ADJUSTMENT OF MIRRORS" in Chapter 3 for additional information. <!-- image --> <!-- image --> 1

［ ## 1.2.7 PRE-START UP INSPECTION ON THE MACHINE Always perform a pre-startup inspection before operating this machine to check for any potential issues. For more information, refer to "EVERYDAY CHECK-UP" in Chapter 3 in this manual. ## ATTACH A "DO NOT OPERATE" TAG To prevent serious injury or death, never allow unauthorized personnel to start the engine or touch the control levers during inspection and maintenance activities. Always lower the attachment, pull the control lock lever up, stop the engine, and remove the key before performing inspection and maintenance. Use a temporary hang tag to communicate that the machine is out of service. You many need to use more than one temporary hang tag depending on the inspection and maintenance activities to be performed. ## ALWAYS KEEP THE MACHINE CLEAN Always keep the machine clean and free of scattered debris, and spilled lubricant and oil. If electrical components or systems get wet, then equipment malfunction, short circuit, or fire may result in serious injury or death. Never use pressurized water or steam to clean inside the operator cab or any electrical components, such as sensors and connectors. <!-- image --> <!-- image --> ## KEEP INSIDE OF OPERATOR CAB CLEAN - · To prevent slippery pedals, always remove mud, grease, oil, and other substances from the soles of your shoes before entering the cab. - · Secure parts and tools inside the cab before operating. To prevent fire: - · Do not bring explosive or flammable materials into the cab. - · Do not leave your cigarette lighter inside the cab. If the cab temperature becomes too hot, the lighter may explode. - · After smoking, always put out your cigarette. - · Do not leave plastic bottles inside the cab or attach suction cups to the windows.
