MH6.6 / MH8.6 SAFETY INSTRUCTION 0-5 Applying the safety belt Working from the operator’s seat only If the machine overturns, the opera- tor may be injured and/or thrown out of the cab. He may be severely injured or even crushed to death by the overturning machine. Starting up the engine incorrectly may cause the machine to make unexpected movements that might lead to severe, even fatal, injury. - Before operating the machine, check the belt fabric, the closure and the fastening components carefully. If one of the parts is damaged or worn, replace the safety belt or the components be- fore starting up the machine. - Always start up the engine from the operator’s seat only.
- Never start the engine by short- circuiting the starter. - After starting up the engine, check that all driving levers, driving pedals and control levers are in neutral position. - Always remain seated and keep the safety belt fastened while op- erating the machine. This will help minimize the risk of injury in the event of an accident. Never take passengers on the machine The safety belt must be replaced after any serious accident even if it appears to be undamaged. Passengers on the machine may suffer injury e.g. from foreign bod- ies or through being thrown off. - Only the operator is allowed onto the machine. Never take passen- gers.
- Passengers also obstruct the op- erator’s view so that the machine is no longer safely operated. Fig. 5 Fig. 6 Carefully read personal and machine SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (at the beginning of this manual)
