SAFETY
S-6
Use Handrails and Steps
y Falling is one of the major causes of personal injury.
x When you get on and off the machine, always face the
machine and maintain a three-point contact with the
steps and handrails.
x Do not use any controls as handholds.
x Never jump on or off the machine. Never mount or
dismount a moving machine.
x Be careful of slippery conditions on platforms, steps, and
handrails when leaving the machine.
x Never get on and off the machine with tools in your
hands.
Never Ride Attachment
y Never allow anyone to ride attachment or the load. This is
an extremely dangerous practice.
Adjust Operator’s Seat
y A poorly adjusted seat for either the operator or the work at
hand may quickly fatigue the operator leading to improper
operations.
x The seat should be adjusted whenever changing the
operator for the machine.
x The operator should be able to fully depress the pedals
and to correctly operate the control levers with his back
against the seat back.
x If not, move the seat forward or backward, and check
again.
x 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.
