SAFETY

USE HANDHOLDS AND STEPS
• Falling is one of the major causes of personal injury.
• When you get on and off the machine, always
face the machine and maintain a three-point
contact with the steps and handrails.
• Do not use any controls as hand-holds.
• Never jump on or off the machine. Never mount or
dismount a moving machine.
• Be careful of slippery conditions on platforms,
steps, and handrails when leaving the machine.

ADJUST THE OPERATOR'S SEAT
• A poorly adjusted seat for either the operator or for
the work at hand may quickly fatigue the operator
leading to misoperations.
• The seat should be adjusted whenever changing
the operator for the machine.
• The operator should be able to fully depress the
pedals and to correctly operate the control levers
with his back against the seat back.
• If not, move the seat forward or backward, and
check again.
• Adjust the rear view mirror position so that the
best rear visibility is obtained from the operator’s
seat. If the mirror is broken, immediately replace it
with a new one.

ENSURE SAFETY BEFORE RISING FROM
OR LEAVING OPERATOR’S SEAT
• Before rising from the operator’s seat to open/close
either side window or to adjust the seat position, be
sure to first lower the front attachment to the ground
and then move the pilot control shut-off lever to the
LOCK position. Failure to do so may allow the ma-
chine to unexpectedly move when a body part un-
intentionally comes in contact with a control lever,
possibly resulting in serious personal injury or death.
• Before leaving the machine, be sure to first lower
the front attachment to the ground and then move
the pilot control shut-off lever to the LOCK posi-
tion. Turn the key switch OFF to stop the engine.
• Before leaving the machine, close all windows,
doors, and access covers and lock them up.
