safety helmet, safety shoes, eye protection,
ear protection, working gloves, etc., as

sure that the excavator has been filled with
fuel, lubricated, greased and undergone
other maintenance work.

2. STARTING OF THE EXCAVATOR
1. Get into and out of the machine safely.
Always face the machine. Always use
handrails and available steps and keep
yourself well balanced. Do not hold any of
the control Ievers and switches. Do not jump
on or off the machine, whether stationary or
in motion.
2. Start and control the excavator only from the
operator's seat. The driver should not lean
out of his seat when the engine is running.
3. Before starting the engine, make sure that
all control levers (including auxiliary control
levers) are in their neutral positions.
Before starting the engine, make sure that
the control levers, travel lever, pedals and
other control elements are not stuck and can
be moved smoothly. If stuck, for example, a
lever may fail to return, possibly putting you
in danger. If anything wrong is found,
immediately pinpoint the cause and correct
it.
4. Do not start the engine by jumping the
starter connections. Do not try to circumvent
using the starter switch, otherwise the
engine could start suddenly and the
excavator could move.
