Keep out of reach or children or other unauthorized persons.
Additional precautions are required for applied chemicals. Obtain complete information from the manufacturer or
distributor of the chemicals before using them.
Utility safety
Make sure the machine has sufficient clearance to pass in all directions. Pay special attention to overhead power
lines and hanging obstacles. High voltage lines may require significant clearance for safety. Contact local authorities
or utilities to obtain safe clearance distances from high voltage power lines.
Retract raised or extended components, if necessary. Remove or lower radio antennas or other accessories. Should
a contact between the machine and an electric power source occur, the following precautions must be taken:
• Stop the machine movement immediately.
• Apply the park brake, stop the engine, and remove the key.
• Check if you can safely leave the cab or your actual position without contact with electrical wires. If not, stay in your
position and call for help. If you can leave your position without touching lines, jump clear of the machine to make
sure you do not make contact with the ground and the machine at the same time.
• Do not permit anyone to touch the machine until power has been shut off to the power lines.
Working at heights
When the normal use and maintenance of the machine requires working 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 which 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
Do not used 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.
Headers or other lifting and handling 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.
Equipment and associated loads can block visibility and cause an accident. Do not operate with insufficient visibility.
Mounting and dismounting
Mount and dismount the machine only at designated locations that have handholds, steps, or ladders.
Do not jump off the machine.
Make sure steps, ladders, and platforms remain clean and clear of debris and foreign substances. Injury may result
from slippery surfaces.
Face the machine when mounting and dismounting.
Maintain a three-point contact with steps, ladders, and handholds.
