Abstract: Provided is a work-machine erroneous forward/backward travelling operation notifying device capable of improving safety by notifying, when a travel direction inputted to an operation input unit does not conform to the condition of a transmission clutch, an operator of the non-conformance. Whether the conditions of clutches 121 to 124 conform to a travel direction inputted to a selection lever 141 is determined on the basis of a pressure Pf sensed by a first pressure sensor 133a or a pressure Pr sensed by a second pressure sensor 134a and the travelling direction inputted to the selection lever 141. When it is determined that the conditions of the clutches 121 to 124 do not conform to the travel direction inputted to the selection lever 141, a vehicle 10 is notified that an erroneous operation will occur.
