Start Safely - Wacker Neuson 2503 Operator's Manual

Mount And Dismount Properly
When you enter or leave the machine:
— Maintain a three-point contact with the machine.
Three-point contact is defined as maintaining contact
with at least one hand and two feet, or two hands
and one foot, at all times.
— Face the machine when either mounting or
dismounting.
— Use handholds, handrails, ladders or steps (as
provided).
— The upperstructure and undercarriage must be
oriented to align the access system.
— Never use control levers as handholds.
— Never step on foot controls when entering or leaving.
— Clean your boots and wipe your hands before
mounting or dismounting.
— Never jump on or off the machine.
— Never attempt to mount or dismount a moving
machine.
— Never mount or dismount while carrying tools or
objects that prevent three-point contact.
Look Out For Others
Before starting, walk completely around the machine
operating area. Make sure no one is under it, on it or
close to it. Do not start the engine until everyone is clear
of the operating area.
Starting The Engine
Do not start the engine or move any of the controls if
there is a "DO NOT OPERATE" or similar warning tag
attached to the start switch or controls. Check with your
supervisor.
WARNING! Start the engine only from the operator's
seat. Never attempt to start the engine by shorting
across starter terminals or reaching for the key from
outside the cab. This could result in the machine
moving suddenly and unexpectedly and cause death or
serious injury.
