Before Using The Machine - Case 3 Series Operator's Manual

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

Read and familiarize yourself with the instructions
and warnings shown in this manual before operating
the machine.
The presence of grease, oil, mud or (in winter) ice
on the steps and access handles can cause acci-
dents. Make sure they are always clean.
Remove anything which might hinder visibility.
Clean the windshield, windows and rearview mir-
rors.
Before travelling or working at night, check that the
lighting and signalling systems are operating cor-
rectly.
Make sure the doors and the engine guard are cor-
rectly fastened before undertaking any travel.
Make sure that no loose object or tool is left on the
machine or in the operator's compartment.
The operator should be the only person on the
machine. Make sure there is nobody on or near the
machine.
When mounting or dismounting from the machine
always face the machine and use the steps and
access handles on the left-hand side of the
machine.
Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment
appropriate for the job:
- safety helmet;
- safety shoes;
- heavy gloves;
- reflective clothing;
- wet weather clothing.
If the environment conditions make it necessary, the
following personal safety equipment should be at
hand:
- respirators (or dustproof masks);
- ear plugs or acoustic ears protections;
- goggles with lateral shield or masks for eyes pro-
tection.
Do not wear rings, wristwatches, jewels, unbuttoned
or flapping clothing such as ties, torn clothes,
scarves, open jackets or shirts with open zips which
could get caught into moving parts.
Make sure you know the position and function of
every control. Operating the controls wrongly can
cause serious physical injury.
