SAFETY
General Precautions for Cab
   Before entering the cab, thoroughly remove all dirt and/or
     oil such as mud, grease, soil or stones that may mess up
     the cab 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 mess up around the operator’s seat with parts,
     tools, soil, stones, obstacles that may fold up or turn
     over, cans or lunch box. The levers or pedals become
     inoperable if obstacle jams in operation stroke of the
     travel levers/pedals, pilot control shut-off lever 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.
   Use proper floor mat dedicated to the machine. If another
     floor mat is used, it may be displaced and contact with
     the travel pedals during operation, resulting in serious
     injury or death.

SAFETY
 Avoid swinging the upperstructure on slopes. Never
  attempt to swing the upperstructure downhill. The
  machine may tip over. If swinging uphill is unavoidable,
  carefully operate the upperstructure and boom at slow
  speed.
 If the engine stalls on a slope, immediately lower the
  bucket to the ground. Return the control levers to neutral.
  Then, restart the engine.
 Be sure to thoroughly warm up the machine before
  ascending steep slopes. If hydraulic oil has not warmed
  up sufficiently, sufficient performance may not be                           Travel Motor

 Use a signal person when moving, swinging or operating                       M104-05-008
  the machine in congested areas. Coordinate hand signals
  before starting the machine.
 Before moving machine, determine which way to move
  travel pedals/levers for the direction you want to go.
  When the travel motors are in the rear, pushing down
  on the front of the travel pedals or pushing the levers
  forward moves the machine forward, towards the idlers.
  An arrow-mark seal is stuck on the inside surface of the
  side frame to indicate the machine front direction.
 Select a travel route that is as flat as possible. Steer the
                                                                 Arrow -mark
  machine as straight as possible, making small gradual
  changes in direction.                                                        M178-03-001
 Before traveling on them, check the strengths of bridges
  and road shoulders, and reinforce if necessary.
 Use wood plates in order not to damage the road surface.
  Be careful of steering when operating on asphalt roads in
  summer.
 When crossing train tracks, use wood plates in order not
  to damage them.
 Do not make contact with electric wires or bridges.
 When crossing a river, measure the depth of the river
  using the bucket, and cross slowly. Do not cross the river
  when the depth of the river is deeper than the upper
  edge of the upper roller.
                                                                                    SA-011
 When traveling on rough terrain, reduce engine speed.
  Select slow travel speed. Slower speed will reduce
  possible damage to the machine.
 Avoid operations that may damage the track and
  undercarriage components.
 During freezing weather, always clean snow and ice from
  track shoes before loading and unloading machine, to
  prevent the machine from slipping.

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.
   Keep hands, feet and clothing away from power-driven
    parts.

  Before servicing the machine:
  1. Park the machine on a level surface.
  2. Lower the bucket to the ground.
  3. Turn the auto-idle switch off.
  4. Run the engine at slow idle speed without load for 5
     minutes.
  5. Turn the key switch to OFF to stop engine.
  6. Relieve the pressure in the hydraulic system by moving
     the control levers several times.                             SA-028

  7. Remove the key from the key switch.
  8. Attach a “Do Not Operate” tag on the control lever.
  9. Pull the pilot control shut-off lever to the LOCK position.
 10. Allow the engine to cool.


   If a maintenance procedure must be performed with the
    engine running, do not leave the machine unattended.
   If the machine must be raised, maintain a 90 to 110˚
    angle between the boom and arm. Securely support any
    machine elements that must be raised for service work.
   Inspect certain parts periodically and repair or replace as
    necessary. Refer to the section discussing that part in the
    “MAINTENANCE” chapter of operator's manual.                    SA-527
   Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed.
   Fix damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts.
    Remove any buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
   When cleaning parts, always use nonflammable
    detergent oil. Never use highly flammable oil such as fuel
    oil and gasoline to clean parts or surfaces.
   Disconnect battery ground cable (−) before making
    adjustments to electrical systems or before performing
    welding on the machine.

SAFETY

Remove Paint Before Welding or Heating
 Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint is heated by
  welding, soldering, or using a torch. If inhaled, these fumes
  may cause sickness.
   Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust.
   Do all such work outside or in a well-ventilated area.
    Dispose of paint and solvent properly.
   Remove paint before welding or heating:
  1. If you sand or grind paint, avoid breathing the dust.
     Wear an approved respirator.
  2. If you use solvent or paint stripper, remove stripper with   SA-029
     soap and water before welding. Remove solvent or paint
     stripper containers and other flammable material from
     area. Allow fumes to disperse at least 15 minutes before
     welding or heating.


Beware of Asbestos and Silicon Dust and Other
Contamination
 Take care not to inhale dust produced in the work site.
  Inhalation of asbestos fibers may be the cause of lung
  cancer. Inhalation of silicon dust or other contamination
  may cause sickness.
   Depending on the work site conditions, the risk
    of inhaling asbestos fiber, silicon dust or other
    contamination may exist. Spray water to prevent asbestos
    fibers, silicon dust or other contamination from becoming
    airborne. Do not use compressed air.
   When operating the machine in a work site where
    asbestos fibers, silicon dust or other contamination          SA-029
    might be present, be sure to operate the machine
    from the upwind side and wear a mask rated to
    prevent the inhalation of asbestos, silicon dust or other
    contamination.
   Keep bystanders out of the work site during operation.
   Asbestos fibers might be present in imitation parts. Use
    only genuine Hitachi Parts.

Bleeding Air from Fuel System
 Air in the fuel system may make the engine hard to
 start or make it run irregularly. After draining water and
 sediment from the fuel filter, replacing the fuel filter, or
 running the fuel tank dry, be sure to bleed the air from
 the fuel system.

 Air Bleeding Procedures
 Automatic bleeding deveice is provided on this
 machine.
 1. Confirm that the fuel level is more than one-half of
    the fuel tank capacity. If the fuel is lower, add fuel.
  2. Set the key switch to the ON position and hold it for
     10 to 15 seconds.
  3. Start the engine and check the fuel system for fuel
     leaks.
