Inside Operator’s Compartment SAFETY 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 a serious accident. Always use the seat belt installed in your machine. Be sure the seat belt is fastened snugly around your waist before operating the machine. See “Seat Belt Inspection” on page 1-11. Never bring any dangerous objects, such as flammable or explosive items, into the operator’s cab. 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. If the temperature inside the operator’s compartment gets too high, there is danger that the lighter or aerosol can may explode. Do not leave tools or machine parts lying around inside the operator’s compartment. If a tool or part gets into the control devices, it may obstruct operation and cause the machine to move unexpectedly, resulting in serious personal injury or death. Do not stick suction pads to the window glass. Suction pads may act as a lens and could cause a fire. Do not use a cell phone when driving or operating the machine.
This may lead to mistakes in operation, which could cause serious personal injury or death. After-market radios or other electrically-operated equipment in the cab must be fused close to the power supply. 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 ROPS.
Emergency Escape from Operator’s Cab If the left door of the cab does not open or if it is dangerous to get off the machine from the left side, release the open lock of the right door (emergency door) and use the right door as an emergency escape route. Lift open lock knob (1) up. Grip open lock knob (1) and pull it towards the rear of the machine. Remove the open lock guide rail from the window pillar guide to free the right door lock. See “Emergency Escape Right Door” on page 2-68. WA430-6 1-17
