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.

General Precautions for the Cab
Before entering the cab, thoroughly remove all dirt and/
or oil such as mud, grease, soil or stones 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 make a mess around the operator's seat with
parts, tools, soil, stones or other, obstacles that may fold
up or turn over such as cans or lunch box. The levers or
pedals become inoperable if an obstacle jams during the
operation stroke of the accelerator pedal, brake pedals,
control lever lock switch or control levers, which may
result in serious injury or death.
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 listening to the radio, or 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.
Correctly lay the floor mat specific 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.

SAFETY
S-6
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.
Before getting on or off the machine, check the condition
of the steps and handrails for sticking of slippery material
like grease or mud. Thoroughly remove such material if
stuck. In addition, repair the damage to the steps and/or
handrails. Retighten loose bolts.
Never get on and off the machine with tools in your
hands.
Never Ride Attachment
Never allow anyone to ride on attachment or the load. This
is an extremely dangerous practice.
Adjust Operator’s Seat
A seat which is poorly adjusted for the individual operator,
or the work to be undertaken, may quickly fatigue the
operator leading to misoperation.
The seat should be adjusted whenever the operator of
the machine changes.
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.

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 key
switch OFF to stop the engine.
Before leaving the machine, close all windows, doors, and
access covers and lock them.
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.

Move and Operate Machine Safely
Bystanders can be run over.
Take extra care not to run over bystanders. Confirm the
location of bystanders before moving, or operating the
machine.
Always keep the travel alarm and horn in working
condition (if equipped). It warns people when the
machine starts to move.
Use a signal person when moving, or operating the
machine in congested areas. Coordinate hand signals
before starting the machine.
Use appropriate illumination. Check that all lights are
operable before operating the machine. If any faulty
illumination is present, immediately repair it.
Ensure the cab door, windows, doors and covers are
securely locked.
Check the mirrors and the monitor in the cab for
problems.
If there is any problem, replace the problem part(s) or
clean the mirror, camera and the monitor.
Refer to Rear View Monitor section for information on
cleaning the camera lens and the monitor display.
Handle Starting Aids Safely
Starting fluid:
Starting fluid is highly flammable.
Keep all sparks and flame away when using it.
Keep starting fluid well away from batteries and cables.
Remove container from machine if engine does not need
starting fluid.
To prevent accidental discharge when storing a
pressurized container, keep the cap on the container, and
store it in a cool, well-protected location.
Do not incinerate or puncture a starting fluid container.
