handrails and available steps and keep
yourself well balanced. Do not hold any
of the control Ievers and switches. Do
not jump on or off the machine, whether
stationary or in motion.

lean out of his seat when the engine is
running.

that all control levers (including auxiliary
control levers) are in their neutral
positions.

circumvent using the starter switch,
otherwise the engine could start suddenly
and the excavator could move.

side. (The dozer must be raised.) If the
levers are activated with the dozer on the
rear end, the driving direction is in the
opposite direction of the drive levers.
