SAFETY Tidy Up Inside Operator’s Space Always keep inside the operator’s space clean by observing instructions below, to prevent any personal accidents from occurring. Remove mud and/or oily material from the shoe soles before entering the operator’s space. If pedals are operated without removing mud or oily matter, the foot may slip off the pedal, possibly creating a hazardous situation. Do not leave parts and/or tools around the operator’s seat. Avoid storing transparent bottles in the cab. Do not attach any transparent type window decorations on the windowpanes as they may focus sunlight, possibly starting a fire.
Do not wear radio or music headphones and do not use a cell phone while traveling or operating the machine. Never allow hazardous materials such as combustible and/or explosive material in the operator’s space. Do not leave cigarette lighters in the cab. If the temperature in the cab increases, the lighter may explode. Use Handrails and Steps Falling is one of the major causes of personal injury. When you get on and off the machine, always use the crawler instead of the step for safety. Also get on and off from the position of the crawler that can secure your feet space enough. When you get on and off the machine, always face the machine.
Maintain a three-point contact with the steps and handrails. Do not use any controls as handholds. Never jump on or off the machine. Never mount or dismount a moving machine. In case adhered slippery material such as oil, grease, or mud is present on steps, handrails, or platforms, SA-439 thoroughly remove such material. Never Ride Attachment Never allow anyone to ride attachments or the load. This is an extremely dangerous practice. S-4
