Worksite Safety - jcb CT160 Operator's Manual

Visibility
Accidents can be caused by working in poor visibility. Use your lights to improve visibility. Keep the road lights,
windows, mirrors and cameras clean (when fitted). Do not operate the machine if you cannot see clearly.
Modification of the machine's configuration by the user (e.g. the fitting of large and non-approved attachments)
may result in a restriction of the machine visibility.
Hands and Feet
Keep your hands and feet inside the machine. When using the machine, keep your hands and feet clear of
moving parts. Keep your hands and feet within the operator compartment while the vehicle is in motion.
Controls
You or others can be killed or seriously injured if you operate the control levers from outside the machine.
Operate the control levers only when you are correctly seated.
Passengers
Passengers in or on the machine can cause accidents. Do not carry passengers.
Fires
If your machine is equipped with a fire extinguisher, make sure it is checked regularly. Keep it in the correct
machine location until you need to use it. Do not use water to put out a machine fire, you could spread an oil
fire or get a shock from an electrical fire. Use carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam extinguishers. Contact your
nearest fire department as quickly as possible.
Roll Over Protection
If the machine starts to roll over, you can be crushed if you try to leave the cab. If the machine starts to roll
over, do not try and jump from the cab. Stay in the cab, with your seat belt fastened.
Confined Areas
Pay extra attention to proximity hazards when operating in confined areas. Proximity hazards include buildings,
traffic and bystanders.
Safe Working Loads
Overloading the machine can damage it and make it unstable. Study the specifications in the Operator's Manual
before using the machine.
Lightning
If you are inside the machine during a lightning storm stay in the machine until the storm has passed. If you
are outside of the machine during a lightning storm stay away from the machine until the storm has passed. Do
not attempt to mount or enter the machine. If the machine is struck by lightning do not use the machine until
it has been checked for damage and malfunction by trained personnel.
