SAFETY FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT • If the machine should overturn, the operator may become injured and/or thrown from the cab. Additionally the opera- tor may be crushed by the overturning machine, resulting in serious injury or death. • Prior to operating the machine, thoroughly examine web- bing, buckle and attaching hardware.
Page 11
SAFETY OPERATE ONLY FROM OPERATOR'S SEAT • Inappropriate engine starting procedures may cause the machine to runaway, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. • Start the engine only when seated in the operator's seat. • NEVER start the engine while standing on the track or on ground.
Page 12
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATIONS • Investigate the work site before starting operations. • Be sure to wear close fitting clothing and safety equip- ment appropriate for the job, such as a hard hat, etc. when operating the machine. • Clear all persons and obstacles from area of operation and machine movement.
Page 13
SAFETY 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 configuration and ground conditions of the job site beforehand to prevent the machine from fall- ing and to prevent the ground, stockpiles, or banks from collapsing.

SAFETY AVOID TIPPING DO NOT ATTEMPT TO JUMP CLEAR OF TIPPING MA- CHINE---SERIOUS OR FATAL CRUSHING INJURIES WILL RESULT MACHINE WILL TIP OVER FASTER THAN YOU CAN JUMP FREE FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT • The danger of tipping is always present when operating on a grade, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
Page 19
SAFETY DIG WITH CAUTION • Accidental severing of underground cables or gas lines may cause an explosion and/or fire, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. • Before digging check the location of cables, gas lines, and water lines. • Keep the minimum distance required, by law, from cables, gas lines, and water lines.
Page 20
SAFETY AVOID POWER LINES • Serious injury or death can result if the machine or front at- tachments are not kept a safe distance from electric lines. • When operating near an electric line, NEVER move any part of the machine or load closer than 3 m plus twice the line insulator length.
Page 21
SAFETY PROTECT AGAINST FLYING DEBRIS • If flying debris hit eyes or any other part of the body, serious injury may result. • Guard against injury from flying pieces of metal or debris; wear goggles or safety glasses. • Keep bystanders away from the working area before strik- ing any object.
Page 22
SAFETY TRANSPORT SAFELY • Take care the machine may turn over when loading or un- loading the machine onto or off of a truck or trailer. • Observe the related regulations and rules for safe trans- portation. • Select an appropriate truck or trailer for the machine to be transported.
Page 23
SAFETY PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE To avoid accidents: • Understand service procedures before starting work. • Keep the work area clean and dry. • Do not spray water or steam inside cab. • Never lubricate or service the machine while it is moving. •...
Page 24
SAFETY • Sufficiently illuminate the work site. Use a maintenance work light when working under or inside the machine. • Always use a work light protected with a guard. In case the light bulb is broken, spilled fuel, oil, antifreeze fluid, or window washer fluid may catch fire.
Page 25
SAFETY PREVENT PARTS FROM FLYING • Travel reduction gears are under pressure. • As pieces may fly off, be sure to keep body and face away from AIR RELEASE PLUG to avoid injury. • GEAR OIL is hot. Wait for GEAR OIL to cool, then gradually loosen AIR RELEASE PLUG to release pressure.
Page 26
SAFETY PREVENT BURNS Hot spraying fluids: • After operation, engine coolant is hot and under pressure. Hot water or steam is contained in the engine, radiator and heater lines. Skin contact with escaping hot water or steam can cause severe burns. •...
Page 27
SAFETY AVOID HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDS • Fluids such as diesel fuel or hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate the skin or eyes causing serious injury, blindness or death. • Avoid this hazard by relieving pressure before disconnect- ing hydraulic or other lines. •...
Page 28
SAFETY PREVENT FIRES Check for Oil Leaks: • Fuel, hydraulic oil and lubricant leaks can lead to fires. • Check for oil leaks due to missing or loose clamps, kinked hoses, lines or hoses that rub against each other, damage to the oil-cooler, and loose oil-cooler flange bolts.
Page 29
SAFETY EVACUATING IN CASE OF FIRE • If a fire breaks out, evacuate the machine in the following way: • Stop the engine by turning the key switch to the OFF position if there is time. • Use a fire extinguisher if there is time. •...
Page 30
SAFETY AVOID HEATING NEAR PRESSURIZED FLUID LINES • Flammable spray can be generated by heating near pres- surized fluid lines, resulting in severe burns to yourself and bystanders. • Do not heat by welding, soldering, or using a torch near pressurized fluid lines or other flammable materials.
Page 31
• Keep bystanders out of the work site during operation. • Asbestos might be present in imitation parts. Use only SA-029 genuine Hitachi Parts. PREVENT BATTERY EXPLOSIONS • Battery gas can explode. • Keep sparks, lighted matches, and flame away from the top of battery.
