WARNING:For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions. SAFETY CLOTHING AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE ITEMS Avoid loose clothing, jewelry, and loose long hair. They can catch on controls or in moving parts and cause serious injury or death. Also, do not wear oily clothes because they are flammable. Wear a hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, mask or gloves when operating or maintaining the machine. Always wear safety goggles, hard hat and heavy gloves, if your job involves scattering metal chips or minute materials - this is particularly important when driving pins with a hammer and when cleaning the air cleaner element with compressed air.
Also, check that no one is near the machine. Cleaning of air cleaner element See 24.2.1 CLEAN OR REPLACE AIR CLEANER ELEMENT on page 3-26. Check that all protective equipment functions properly. Never jump on or off the machine. In particular, never get on or off a moving machine. These actions may lead to serious injury. When getting on or off the machine, always face the machine, and maintain three point contact (both feet and one hand or one foot and both hands) with the handrails, steps, and platforms to ensure that you support yourself securely. Never hold any control levers when getting on or off the machine.
Do not use the machine controls or hoses as handholds when climbing on or off the machine. Controls and hoses can move and do not provide solid support. Movement of the controls may cause unexpected machine movement and injury. Ensure safety by always maintaining at least three point contact of hands and feet with the handrails and steps. Before getting on or off the machine, if there is any oil, grease, or mud on the rails, steps, or platforms, wipe it off immediately. Always keep these parts clean. Repair any damage and tighten any loose bolts. Apply the door lock securely.
If you grip the handrail inside the door when moving on top of the platforms and the door lock is not applied securely, the door may move and cause you to fall. Use the points marked by arrows in the diagram when getting on or off the machine. WA380-3MC 1-4 MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
