Use Handholds And Steps; Adjust The Operator's Seat - Hitachi EX3600-7B 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.
 Be careful of slippery conditions on platforms, steps, and
handrails when leaving the machine.
 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.
