SAFE OPERATION
-
C Safety for children
Tragedy can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children generally are attracted to
machines and the work they do.
1. Never assume that children will remain where you last
saw them.
2. Keep children out of the work area and under the
watchful eye of another responsible adult.
3. Be alert and shut your machine down if children enter
the work area.
4. Never carry children on your machine. There is not a
safe place for them to ride. They may fall off and be run
over or interfere with your control of the machine.
5. Never allow children to operate the machine even
under adult supervision.
6. Never allow children to play on the machine or on the
attachments.
7. Use extra caution when backing up. Look behind and
down to make sure the area clear before moving.
8. When parking your machine, if at all possible, park on
a firm, flat and level surface; if not, park across a slope.
Lower the bucket and dozer to the ground, stop the
engine, release pressure in the hydraulic system,
place the pilot control lock lever in the locked position,
remove the key and lock the cab door (if equipped),
before you leave.
