INTRODUCTION
Read this manual carefully to learn how to operate and
service your machine correctly. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or machine damage.
This standard specification machine can be operated
under the following conditions without being modified.
Atmospheric Temperature: -20 °C to 40 °C (-4 °F to 104 °F)
Altitude: 0 m to 2000 m (0 ft to 6600 ft)
In case the machine is used under conditions other than
described above, consult your authorized dealer.
This manual should be considered a permanent part of
your machine and should remain with the machine when
you sell it.
This machine is of metric design. Measurements in this
manual are metric. Use only metric hardware and tools as
specified.
Right-hand and left-hand sides are determined by
facing in the direction of forward travel.
Write product identification numbers in the Machine
Numbers section. Accurately record all the numbers
to help in tracing the machine should it be stolen.
Your dealer also needs these numbers when you order
parts. If this manual is kept on the machine, also file the
identification numbers in a secure place off the machine.
Use only diesel fuel with quality specified in JIS K-2204,
EN-590 or ASTM D-975 which contents 15 ppm or lower
sulfur.
Also use fuel that complies with solid contamination level
of class 18/16/13 of ISO4406-1999 (solid contamination
includes dust). If the fuel specified above is not used,
exhaust gas that exceeds the regulation values may be
discharged, causing serious problem on the engine.
Consult your authorized dealer.

SAFETY
Recognize Safety Information
These are the SAFETY ALERT SYMBOLS.
When you see these symbols on your machine or in this
manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
Follow recommended precautions and safe operating
practices.
Understand Signal Words
On machine safety signs, signal words designating the
degree or level of hazard - DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION
- are used with the safety alert symbol.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury.
DANGER or WARNING safety signs are located near
specific hazards. General precautions are listed on
CAUTION safety signs.
Some safety signs do not use any of the designated signal
words above after the safety alert symbol has been used
on this machine.
To avoid confusing machine protection with personal
safety messages, a signal word IMPORTANT indicates a
situation which, if not avoided, could result in damage to
the machine.
fNOTE indicates an additional explanation for an
element of information.

SAFETY
General Precautions for Cab
Before entering the cab, thoroughly remove all dirt and /
or oil from the soles of your work boots.
If any controls such as a pedal is operated while with dirt
and / or oil on the soles of the operator’s work boots the
operator’s foot may slip off the pedal, possibly resulting in
a personal accident.
Do not leave parts and / or tools lying around the
operator’s seat. Store them in their specified locations.
Avoid storing transparent bottles in the cab. Do not
attach any transparent type window decorations on
the windowpanes as they may focus sunlight, possibly
starting a fire.
Refrain from using music headphones or mobile
telephones in the cab while operating the machine.
Keep all flammable objects and / or explosives away from
the machine.
After using the ashtray, always cover it to extinguish the
match and / or tobacco.
Do not leave cigarette lighters in the cab. When the
temperature in the cab increases, the lighter may
explode.
Use proper floor mat dedicated to the machine.
If another floor mat is used, it may be displaced and
contact with the accelerator or brake pedals during
operation, resulting in serious injury or death.
Never weld, drill or in any way modify the ROPS without
approval from the manufacturer.

S-6
SAFETY
Use Handrails and Steps
Falling is one of the major causes of personal injury.
When you get on and off the machine, always face the
machine and maintain a three-point contact with the
steps and handrails.
Do not use any controls as handholds.
Never jump on or off the machine. Never mount or
dismount a moving machine.
Be careful of slippery conditions on platforms, steps, and
handrails when leaving the machine.
Never get on and off the machine with tools in your
hands.
Never Ride Attachment
Never allow anyone to ride attachment or the load. This is
an extremely dangerous practice.
Adjust Operator’s Seat
A poorly adjusted seat for either the operator or the
work at hand may quickly fatigue the operator leading to
misoperations.
The seat should be adjusted whenever changing the
operator for the machine.
The operator should be able to fully depress the pedals
and to correctly operate the control levers with his back
against the seat back.
If not, move the seat forward or backward, and check
again.
Adjust the rear view mirror position so that the best rear
visibility is obtained from the operator’s seat. If the mirror
is broken, immediately replace it with a new one.

SA-462

S-7
SAFETY
Ensure Safety Before Rising from or Leaving
Operator’s Seat
Before rising from the operator’s seat to open / close either
side window or to adjust the seat position, be sure to first
lower the front attachment to the ground and then move
the control lever lock switch to the lock ( ) position. Failure
to do so may allow the machine to unexpectedly move
when a body part unintentionally comes in contact with a
control lever, possibly resulting in serious personal injury or
death.
Before leaving the machine, be sure to first lower the front
attachment to the ground and then move the control
lever lock switch to the lock ( ) position. Turn the parking
brake switch ON, and the key switch OFF to stop the
engine.
Before leaving the machine, close all windows, doors, and
access covers and lock them up.
Fasten Your Seat Belt
If the machine should overturn, the operator may become
injured and / or thrown from the cab. Additionally the
operator may be crushed by the overturning machine,
resulting in serious injury or death.
Prior to operating the machine, thoroughly examine
webbing, buckle and attaching hardware. If any item is
damaged or worn, replace the seat belt or component
before operating the machine.
Be sure to remain seated with the seat belt securely
fastened at all times when the machine is in operation to
minimize the chance of injury from an accident.
We recommend that the seat belt be replaced every three
years regardless of its apparent condition.
