Safety—Operating Precautions
MM16284,0001943 -19-05OCT16-1/1
Investigate Job Site Beforehand
When working at the edge of an excavation or on a road
shoulder, the machine could tip over, possibly resulting
in serious injury or death.
•
Investigate the conguration and ground conditions of
the job site beforehand to prevent the machine from
falling and to prevent the ground, stockpiles or banks
from collapsing.
•
Make a work plan. Use machines appropriate to the
work and job site.
•
Reinforce ground, edges and road shoulders as
necessary. Keep the machine well back from the edges
of excavations and road shoulders.
•
When working on an incline or on a road shoulder,
employ a signal person as required.
•
Conrm that your machine is equipped with a FOPS
cab before working in areas where the possibility of
falling stones or debris exist.
•
When the ground footing is weak, reinforce the ground
before starting work.
•
When working on frozen ground, be extremely alert.
As ambient temperatures rise, footing becomes loose
and slippery.
•
Beware the possibility of re when operating the
machine near ammable objects such as dry grass.
Make sure the work site has sufcient strength to rmly
support the machine.
When working close to an excavation or at road
shoulders, operate the machine with the tracks positioned
perpendicular to the cliff face with travel motors at the
rear, so that the machine can more easily evacuate if the
cliff face collapses.
If working on the bottom of a cliff or a high bank is
required, be sure to investigate the area rst and conrm
that no danger of the cliff or bank collapsing exists. If any
possibility of cliff or bank collapsing exists, do not work
on the area.
Soft ground may collapse when the machine is operated
on it, possibly causing the machine to tip over. When
working on soft ground is required, be sure to reinforce
the ground rst using steel plates strong and rm enough
to easily support the machine.

Note that there is always a possibility of machine tipping
over when working on rough terrain or on slopes. Prevent
machine tipping over from occurring. When operating on
rough terrain or on slopes:
•
Reduce the engine speed.
•
Select slow travel speed mode.
•
Operate the machine slowly and be cautious with
machine movements.
