•
Keep clean all parts related to visibility, such as the windshield and rearview mirror. In particular,
adjust the rearview mirror to ensure that the operator's field of vision is clear.
•
Check the acoustic alarms (e.g., the horn and warning signal when driving backward or moving) for
normal operation.
7) During Operation of the Machine
(1) Getting on and off
•
Do not jump on or off the machine.
•
Do not try to get on or off the machine while it is
moving.
•
Get on or off the machine using the handrail
and step (or stepladder, if any). Always keep the
handrail and step clean and free from mud or
oil.
•
Wear anti-slip shoes.
•
Comply with the principle of three-point contact*
by contacting the machine with either both
hands and one foot or vice versa when getting
on or off the machine.
•
Do not sit on a seat not suited or intended for
sitting.
Three-point contact means making contact with the machine with both hands and one foot,
or with one hand and both feet.
(2) During operation
•
The operator should start the engine only after
sitting on the operator's seat. Make sure that all
levers are shifted to the neutral position before
starting the engine.
•
If there are any obstacles at the worksite, pay
attention to prevent collision of the machine with
such obstacles, particularly when turning and
moving backward. Make sure that there are no
obstacles when turning and moving backward.
•
When lifting a load, the capacity of the machine
and the size and weight of the object to be lifted
must be considered. Do not lift a heavy object
with slings by suspending the slings on the
tooth of the bucket.
•
Do not allow any worker to stand under the bucket.
