Fasten Your Seat Belt; Move And Operate Machine Safety; Handle Starting Aids Safely - Hitachi ZW 100-G Workshop Manual

FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT

•
If the machine should overturn, the operator may
become injured and/or thrown from the cab. Addi-
tionally the operator may be crushed by the over-
turning machine, resulting in serious injury or death.
•
Prior to operating the machine, thoroughly ex-
amine 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 se-
curely 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 con-
dition.
MOVE AND OPERATE MACHINE SAFELY
•
Bystanders can be run over.
•
Take extra care not to run over bystanders. Con-
firm 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, swinging, or
operating the machine in congested areas. Coor-
dinate 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.

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 con-
tainer, and store it in a cool, well-protected loca-
tion.
•
Do not incinerate or puncture a starting fluid con-
tainer.
