Case 570T Operator's Manual page 25

Mounting and dismounting
Mount and dismount the machine only at designated locations that have handholds, steps, and/or or ladders.
Do not jump off of the machine.
Make sure that steps, ladders, and platforms remain clean and clear of debris and foreign substances. Injury may
result from slippery surfaces.
Face the machine when you mount and dismount the machine.
Maintain a three-point contact with steps, ladders, and handholds.
Never mount or dismount from a moving machine.
Do not use the steering wheel or other controls or accessories as handholds when you enter or exit the cab or oper-
ator's platform.
Working at heights
When the normal use and maintenance of the machine requires you to work at heights:
• Correctly use installed steps, ladders, and railings.
• Never use ladders, steps, or railings while the machine is moving.
• Do not stand on surfaces that are not designated as steps or platforms.
Do not use the machine as a lift, ladder, or platform for working at heights.
Lifting and overhead loads
Never use loader buckets, forks, etc. or other lifting, handling, or digging equipment to lift persons.
Do not use raised equipment as a work platform.
Know the full area of movement of the machine and equipment and do not enter or permit anyone to enter the area
of movement while the machine is in operation.
Never enter or permit anyone to enter the area underneath raised equipment. Equipment and/or loads can fall unex-
pectedly and crush persons underneath it.
Do not leave equipment in raised position while parked or during service, unless securely supported. Hydraulic cylin-
ders must be mechanically locked or supported if they are left in a raised position for service or access.
Loader buckets, forks, etc. or other lifting, handling, or digging equipment and its load will change the center of gravity
of the machine. This can cause the machine to tip on slopes or uneven ground.
Load items can fall off the loader bucket or lifting equipment and crush the operator. Care must be taken when lifting
a load. Use proper lifting equipment.
Do not lift load higher than necessary. Lower loads to transport. Remember to leave appropriate clearance to the
ground and other obstacles.
Equipment and associated loads can block visibility and cause an accident. Do not operate with insufficient visibility.
