Cleaning
Remove all straw, wood chips, leaves, grass, paper and other
flammable debris accumulated in engine compartment,
mufflers
and around battery. Remove
any dirt from window glass, mirrors,
handrails, and steps.
Do not leave tools or spare parts in operator's cabin. Vibration of
machine during operation can cause tools or spare parts to fall
and damage or break control levers or switches. Tools and
spare parts can also get caught in spaces between control
levers and cause accidental movement of work equipment
causing death or serious injury.
When entering operator's cabin, always remove all mud and oil
from your shoes. If you operate travel pedal with mud or oil stuck
to your shoes, your foot could slip off the control, or dirt and
debris may interfere with proper operation of control levers.
After using ashtray, make sure that any matches or cigarettes
are properly extinguished, and be sure to close ashtray.
Clean window glass and working lights for good visibility.
Do not stick suction pads to window glass. Suction pads act as a
lens and can cause fire.
Never bring flammable or explosive items into operator's cabin.
Do not leave cigarette lighters laying around operator's cabin. If
temperature inside operator's cabin becomes too high, there is a
potential hazard that lighter could explode.
Secure all loose items such as lunch boxes, and other items that
are not a part of the machine itself.
Operator Station
Inspect condition of seat belt and mounting hardware. Replace
any parts that are worn or damaged. Do not use a seat belt
extension on a retractable seat belt.
Adjust seat so full pedal travel can be achieved with operator's
back against back of seat.
Keep all windows and doors closed on machine.
Adjust operator's seat to a position where it is easy to perform
operations, and check that there is no damage or excessive
wear to seat belt or mounting clamps.
Never reach in through a window to work a control. Do not try to
operate the machine unless in operator's seat with the seat belt
fastened.
Adjust and clean mirrors so area to rear of machine can be seen
clearly from operator's seat.
When standing up from operator's seat, always place pilot cutoff
switch in "O" (OFF) position. If you accidentally move work
equipment levers when they are not locked, the machine could
suddenly move and cause damage, death or serious injury.
