Drive Machine Safely
Before driving the machine, always confirm that the shift
lever direction corresponds to the direction you wish to
drive.
Be sure to detour around any obstructions.
Avoid traveling over obstructions. Soil, fragments of rocks,
and/or metal pieces may scatter around the machine. Do
not allow personnel to stay around the machine while
traveling.
If the engine stops while driving, the steering function
becomes inoperative. Immediately stop the machine by
applying the service brake to prevent personal accident.
Do not inertia run with the shift lever in Neutral position.
Because engine speed is in the slow idling state, the
cooling capability of the rear wet disk brake reduces.
The brake unit may be seriously damaged if the machine
continues to drive with the shift lever in Neutral position.
Driving on a slope may cause the machine to slip or
overturn, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
Driving across the face of a slope or steering on a
slope may cause the machine to skid or overturn. If
the direction must be changed, move the machine to
level ground, then, change the direction to ensure safe
operation.
The "Electric Brake Performance Decal" is provided in the
cab as a general guideline for proper downgrade operation
of the loaded machine. Warning, understand downhill
speed operation thoroughly before operation. Machine
road speed is reduced during downhill operation. When
electric brake operation with overloaded machine on
the steep downgrade continues for more than 2 minutes
continuously, grid box resistance will be electrical overload.
Pay attention that electric brake torque reduces.
Overloaded machine reduces the electric brake
performance. Observe strictly the Hitachi loading policy
while driving.
Before descending on a slope, decelerate the machine
sufficiently using electric brake.
When descending on a slope, drive the machine slowly
using electric brake.
Driving on a rough road may cause the machine to slip or
overturn, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
When driving on a rough road or soft ground, reduce
speed sufficiently.
Driving on a wet road may cause the machine to slip,
possibly resulting in serious injury or death. Avoid
applying the electric brake for quick stops.
