vy gloves, reector type vests, respirators, ear protec-
tion, and eye protection can be required. Before you
start the job, determine what protective equipment is
required. Use this equipment at all times.
Be prepared for emergencies. Always have a rst aid
•

how to use each.
Know the hand signals used on your job. Follow the
•
instructions of the agman, signs, etc. See Hand Sig-
nals for more information.

•

ble from your dealer CASE.

Foreign material or grease on the steps and hand rails
•
can cause an accident. Keep the steps and hand rails
clean.
To avoid falling, always face the machine and use
•
the hand rails and steps when getting on or getting
