Use Handrails And Steps; Adjust The Operator's Seat - Hitachi ZAXIS 30U-5N Operator's Manual

Use Handrails and Steps

 Falling is one of the major causes of personal injury.
 When you get on and off the machine, always use the
crawler instead of the step for safety. Be sure you have
adequate footing on the crawler when getting on or off
the machine.
 When you get on and off the machine, always face the
machine.
 Maintain a three-point contact with the steps and
handrails.
 Do not use any controls as handholds.
 Never jump on or off the machine. Never mount or
dismount a moving machine.
 In case adhered slippery material such as oil, grease,
or mud is present on steps, handrails, or platforms,
thoroughly remove such material.
 Never get on and off the machine with tools in your
hands.

Adjust the Operator's Seat

 A poorly adjusted seat for either the operator or the work
at hand may quickly fatigue the operator leading to mis-
operation of the machine.
 The seat should be adjusted whenever the operator for
the machine changes.
 The operator should be able to fully depress the pedals
and to correctly operate the control levers with his back
firmly against the seat back.
 If not, readjust the seat forward or backward, and check
again.
