GENERAL PRECAUTIONS 2.2.6 GETTING ON AND OFF THE MACHINE q Do not jump on or off the machine, both when it is at rest and when it is moving. q Always use the handles and the safety ladders to get on or off the machine, and be very careful. q Do not hold or rest on the steering wheel or the gearshift lever. q Both when getting on and when getting off the machine, always maintain three points of contact (holding or resting points), in order to avoid losing your balance and falling down. q Tighten the handle and ladder connection screws if they are loose and clean the handles and steps if they are dirty with oil or grease.
Carefully clean the cab floor if it is dirty with oil, grease, mud or rubble. RWA18670 2.2.7 CHECKING THE REAR-VIEW MIRRORS q Make sure that the rear-view mirrors are clean and correctly positioned; they must allow the operator to see the rear of the machine with no need to move the chest with respect to the normal work position. q If the rear-view mirrors should move or break during work, stop the machine immediately and fasten or change them. q Working without checking the area behind the machine is dangerous, since the machine may hit persons who are incautiously standing in the work area, fixed obstacles or manoeuvring vehicles.
