overhead cables, work areas etc.
The operator must make sure the machine is driven correctly at all times especially with regards
to speed, overloading, only using the machine for the intended task, not driving dumpers with a
lift-skip in the raised position etc.
2.17 Overturning
If the machine begins to overturn the operator must grip the steering wheel firmly allowing the
seat belt to restrain him/her in the seat until the machine comes to rest. Do not try to jump clear
of the machine when it is overturning. Grip the steering wheel and remain in the seat until the
machine comes to a rest. The ROPS will provide protection in the event of a roll over.
2.18 Safety Signs
Safety signs are fitted to the machine to warn of possible dangers and MUST be replaced
immediately if they become unreadable or lost.
If the machine is repaired and parts have been replaced on which safety signs were fixed new
safety signs must be fitted before the machine is put into service. Use mild soap and water to
clean safety signs -DO NOT use solvent based cleaners as they will damage safety sign material.
ALL safety signs listed must be present on the machine and must be legible.
