Use Handholds and Steps
• Falling is one of the major causes of personal injury.
• When you get on and off the machine, always face the
machine and 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.
• Be careful of slippery conditions on platforms, steps, and
handrails when leaving the machine.
• Never get on and off the machine with tools in your
hands.
Adjust Operator's Seat
• A poorly adjusted seat for either the operator or the
work at hand may quickly fatigue the operator leading to
misoperations.
• The seat should be adjusted whenever changing the
operator for the machine.
• The operator should be able to fully depress the pedals
and to correctly operate the control levers with his back
against the seat back.
• If not, move the seat forward or backward, and check
again.
• 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.
Ensure Safety Before Rising from or Leaving
Operator's Seat
• Before rising from the operator's seat to open/close either
side window or to adjust the seat position, be sure to
first lower the front attachment to the ground and then
move the pilot control shut-off lever to the LOCK position.
Failure to do so may allow the machine to unexpectedly
move when a body part unintentionally comes in contact
with control levers/pedals, possibly resulting in serious
personal injury or death.
• Before leaving the machine, be sure to first lower the
front attachment to the ground and then move the pilot
control shut-off lever to the LOCK position. Press and
hold the engine stop switch until stopping the engine
completely. Remove the key from the key switch.
• Before leaving the machine, close all windows, doors, and
access covers and lock them up.
