SAFETY USE HANDHOLDS AND STEPS Falling is one of the major causes of personal injury. When you get on and off the machine, always face the machine and maintain a three-point contact with the steps and handrails. Do not use any controls as hand-holds. Never jump on or off the machine. Never mount or dismount a moving machine. Be careful of slippery conditions on platforms, steps, and handrails when leaving the machine. SA-439 ADJUST THE OPERATOR'S SEAT A poorly adjusted seat for either the operator or for the work at hand may quickly fatigue the operator leading to mis-operations. The seat should be adjusted whenever changing the operator for the machine.
The operator should be able to fully depress the pedals and to correctly operate the control levers with his back against the seat back. If not, move the seat forward or backward, and check again. Adjust the rear view mirror position so that the best rear visibility is obtained from the operator's seat. If the mirror is broken, immediately replace it with a new one. 008-E01A-0439 SA-462 009-E01A-0462 SA-6
