Use Handholds And Steps; Adjust The Operator's Seat - Hitachi EX5600-7B Workshop Manual

Use Handholds and Steps

 Falling is one of the major causes of personal injury.
 When you get on and off the machine, always maintain a
three-point contact with the steps and handrails.
 Do not use any controls as hand-holds.
 Never jump on or off the machine. Never mount or
dismount a moving machine.
 Before getting on or off the machine, check the condition
of the steps and handrails for sticking of slippery material
like grease or mud. Thoroughly remove such material if
stack. In addition, repair the damage to the steps and/or
handrails. Retighten loose bolts.
 Never get on and off the machine with tools in your
hands.

Adjust the Operator's Seat

 A seat which is poorly adjusted for the individual operator,
or the work to be undertaken, may quickly fatigue the
operator leading to misoperation.
 The seat should be adjusted whenever the operator of the
machine changes.
 The operator should be able to fully depress the pedals
and to correctly operate the control levers with his back
against the seat back.
 If not, move the seat forward or backward, and check
again.
 Adjust the rear view mirror position so that the best rear
visibility is obtained from the operator's seat. If the mirror
is broken, immediately replace it with a new one.
