3. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY

3.1 Work area

DANGER
Do not work in a poorly ventilated area such as indoors or inside a tunnel. Exhaust from engines contains toxic substances such as carbon monoxide, and it is very dangerous if those poisonous gases and dust are inhaled. Also to maintain better ventilation, keep an appropriate distance from buildings when operating this machine.

CAUTION

• Do maintenance work in a place with a flat robust surface to keep the machine stable while being maintained. Also select an area with sufficient space for maintenance work.
• Before maintenance work, clean the floor thoroughly. Oil and other soiling left on the floor may cause accidental fall. For maintenance work, make sure the work area is well lighted.
• A portable lamp to illuminate the work site has to be protected by wire. If the lamp breaks, fuel and oil might ignite.
• To prepare for emergency, the work area should be equipped with emergency medical devices and fire extinguishers.

3.2 Clothing and protective gear

DANGER To make the work safe, wear work clothes that fit properly, and use protective gear such as a helmet and safety boots appropriate for the work. Work clothes that do not fit might be caught in the rotating parts, leading to an unexpected injury.

3.3 Cautions during refuelling

CAUTION When refuelling, pay attention to the following points. – Always refuel in a well ventilated area. Make sure that the engine is stopped. Refuel after the engine cools down.
– Refuel on a flat surface area with no flammable objects around. Be careful not to spill the fuel. If a spill occurs, wipe it well.
– Keep away from open fires while refuelling. (Smoking is strictly prohibited while refuelling.)
Spills might occur if the fuel is filled to the top. After refuelling, tightly close the tank cap by twisting it to the end.

3.4 Preventing burns and accidentally being caught in the machine

WARNING

• Start your work only after the machine cools down completely. The muffler, in particular, gets very hot, and an accidental burn might occur. The engine and engine oil also get very hot, so be careful not to get a burn.
• If you perform maintenance work with the engine running, you might be accidentally caught in the rotating parts such as the clutch and gear. Perform maintenance work after the engine is stopped.

3.5 Tools and equipment, etc

WARNING

• Qualification is required for handling the crane. Only someone qualified to operate a crane and do hooking work can handle the crane.
• Before operating the crane, for safety reasons, check the machine parts (especially the hook and anti-vibration rubber) for any damage and loosened or missing bolts.
• Stop the engine while hoisting.
• Use a sufficiently strong wire rope.
• For safety reasons, do not hoist to a height that is highter than necessary.
• Do not use a wire rope if it is damaged.
• For hoisting, use only the one point hoisting hook, and do not hoist at other parts (such as the handle).
• When using a hydraulic shovel as a crane, never hoist up and down suddenly.
• When the machine is hoisted, never allow people or animals underneath the crane.
• For safety reasons, do not hoist to a height that is higher than necessary. Be careful not to cause accidents while operating the hoisting equipment. Also make sure the hoisting equipment is not malfunctioning.
• Use appropriate tools. Using tools that do not fit the parts will not only damage the parts but also cause unexpected injury.

3.6 Use of genuine parts and genuine oils

CAUTION
Always use genuine parts and oils. The use of inappropriate parts will greatly shorten the life of the machine, also resulting in unexpected accidents.

3.7 Tightening torque of bolts and nuts

WARNING
For tightening of bolts and nuts, use the tightening torque specified in this maintenance manual. Over-tightening and the lack of torque will not only shorten the life of the machine but also result in unexpected accidents such as breakage and break-down of the machine while in use.

3.8 Handling of wastes

CAUTION
Store waste engine oil, lubrication oil and fuel in a container. Never release such wastes on the ground or discharge them in side ditches. Handle them in compliance with the applicable laws and other regulations. her than necessary. Be careful not to cause accidents while operating the hoisting equipment. Also make sure the hoisting equipment is not malfunctioning. Use appropriate tools. Using tools that do not fit the parts will not only damage the parts but also cause unexpected injury.
