WORKING MACHINE

In a work machine including a solenoid valve that generates a pilot pressure to drive a directional control valve with use of the delivery pressure of a pilot pump as a source pressure, a shut-off valve that shuts off a hydraulic operating fluid from the pilot pump to the solenoid valve, a first sensor that senses the amount of operation of an operation lever, and a second sensor that senses a state amount relating to operation of the solenoid valve, whether or not an abnormality of the second sensor exists is determined on the basis of a sensing signal of the second sensor. When it is determined that the second sensor is abnormal, on the basis of a sensing signal of the first sensor, an opening command is made to the shut-off valve if operation of the operation lever is sensed, and a closing command is made to the shut-off valve if the neutral state of the operation lever is sensed.
