Fasten Your Seat Belt

• If the machine should overturn, the operator may become
injured and/or thrown from the cab. Additionally the
operator may be crushed by the overturning machine,
resulting in serious injury or death.
• Prior to operating the machine, thoroughly examine
webbing, buckle and attaching hardware. If any item is
damaged or worn, replace the seat belt or component
before operating the machine.
• Be sure to remain seated with the seat belt securely
fastened at all times when the machine is in operation to
minimize the chance of injury from an accident.
• We recommend that the seat belt is replaced every three
years regardless of its apparent condition.
• Seat belt is also provided on the trainer's seat. Be sure the
rider on the trainer's seat properly fastens seat belt before
operating the machine.

Move and Operate Machine Safely

• Bystanders can be run over.
• Take extra care not to run over bystanders. Confirm the
location of bystanders before moving, swinging, or
operating the machine.
• Always keep the travel alarm and horn in working
condition (if equipped). It warns people when the
machine starts to move.
• Use a signal person when moving, swinging, or operating
the machine in congested areas. Coordinate hand signals
before starting the machine.
• Use appropriate illumination. Check that all lights are
operable before operating the machine. If any faulty
illumination is present, immediately repair it.
• Ensure the cab door, windows, doors and covers are
securely locked.
• Check the mirror and the monitors in the CAB for
problems. If there are, replace the problem parts or clean
the mirror, cameras and monitors.
Refer to Camera Monitor section on the cleaning of the
camera and monitor.

Handle Starting Aids Safely

Starting fluid:
• Starting fluid is highly flammable.
• Keep all sparks and flame away when using it.
• Keep starting fluid well away from batteries and cables.
• Remove container from machine if engine does not need
starting fluid.
• To prevent accidental discharge when storing a
pressurized container, keep the cap on the container, and
store it in a cool, well-protected location.
