SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Avoid wearing loose clothing, jewelry, or other items that
can catch on control levers or other parts of the machine.
Operating equipment safety requires the full attention
of one operator. Do not wear radio or music headphones
while operating machine. Wear close fitting clothing and
safety equipment appropriate for the job.
Standard safety equipment includes:
- A hard hat
- Safety shoes
- Safety glasses, goggles, or face shield
- Heavy gloves
- Hearing protection
- Reflective clothing
- Wet weather clothing
- Respirator or filter mask.
Do not take chances. Wear whatever is needed for the
job at hand.
PROTECT AGAINST NOISE
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment
or loss of hearing.
Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as earmuffs
or earplugs to protect against constant or uncomfortably
loud noised.
FASTEN SEAT BELT
Should the machine overturn, the operator may become
injured and/or thrown from the cab. Not only, the operator
may be crushed by the overturning machine resulting in
serious injury or oven death.
Prior to operating the machine, thoroughly examine belt
webbing, buckle, and attaching hardware. If any item is
damaged or worn, replace the seat belt or component
before operating operating the machine.
Be sure to remain seated with the seat belt securely
fastened at all times when the machine is in operation to
minimise injury hazard in case of accident.
After a significant accident, replace the seat belts even
though they do not look damaged.
