SAFETY Mounting and Dismounting When getting or off the machine, always be sure the work equipment is fully lowered to the ground; the engine is OFF; and the parking brake is set. Use the hand rails and step marked by arrows in the graphic when getting on or off the machine. (A) is the emergency escape step. Use this step to escape from the machine in a fire or other emergencies when you cannot exit by the left door. Hold the handrails (B). Do not use this exit during normal situations. Never climb on the engine hood or covers where there are no non- slip pads. Never jump off or on to the machine.
If the machine starts to move when there is no operator on the machine, do not jump on to the machine and try to stop it. Never move from the step at the rear of the machine or the step at the side of the cab to stand on top of the tire. Do not get on or off the machine while holding tools in your hand. If there is any oil, grease, or mud on your shoes, wipe it off immediately before getting on the machine. Before getting on or off the machine, check the handrails and steps. If there is any oil, grease, or mud on them, wipe it off immediately. In addition, repair any damage and tighten any loose bolts. Always keep these areas clean and in good condition. Never get on or off a moving machine.
These actions may lead to serious injury. Always bring the machine to a full stop. When entering the cab, stand on the top step before opening the door. When getting on or off the machine, always face the machine and maintain a 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 properly. Never let anyone ride on the work equipment or other attachments. There is danger of falling and suffering serious personal injury or death. When entering the cab and opening the cab door, push the door open until it is securely into door latch (1) and held in position.
Use the handrails on the inside of the door while entering or exiting the cab. Do not grip the control levers or work equipment lock lever when getting on or off the machine. 1-16 WA430-6
