SAFETY Inside Operator’s Compartment When entering the operator’s compartment, always remove mud and oil from the soles of your shoes. If you operate the brake pedal with mud or oil on your shoes, your foot may slip and may cause an accident. After using the ashtray, make sure matches or cigarettes are properly extinguished and be sure to close the lid. If the ashtray is left open, there is danger of fire. Do not leave lighters or aerosol cans lying around the operator’s compartment. Do not use cellular telephones inside the operator’s compartment when driving or operating the machine.
After market radios or other electrically operated equipment in the cab must be fused close to the power supply. Never bring any dangerous objects such as flammable or explosive items into the operator’s cab. To ensure safety, do not use the radio or music headphones when operating the machine. Keep the operator’s compartment clean, never allow trash or tools to accumulate, these may hinder the operation of the controls or pedals. When operating the machine, do not put your hands or head out of the window or beyond the protection of the OPG (Operators Protective Guard). Always use the seat belt equipped with your machine.
Be sure the seat belt is fastened snugly around your waist before operating the machine. Protection Against Falling or Flying Objects On job sites where there is danger that falling or flying objects may hit the operators cab, select a guard to match the operating conditions in order to protect the operator. When carrying out cutting operations, install a front guard and top guard, and stick a laminated coating sheet to the front glass. When carrying out the above operations, always close the front window. In addition, always ensure that everyone apart from the operator is a safe distance away and is not in danger from failing or flying objects.
Be careful to keep all people at a good distance during cutting operations. The above recommendations assume that the conditions are for standard operations, but it may be necessary to add additional guards according to the operating conditions on the job site. Always contact your distributor for advice before starting operations. If the glass on the work equipment side is broken, replace it with new glass immediately. If you put your hand out, it may get caught in the work equipment and this may lead to serious personal injury.
