SAFETY MEASURES 1.6 ENTERING AND LEAVING THE MACHINE Do not jump from or on to the machine, even if it is stationary. Use the hand grips, track frame, and tracks to enter and leave the machine. Enter and leave the machine calmly and with due care. Do not hold on to or lean on any controls to enter or leave the machine. When entering or leaving the machine always maintain three points of contact at a time (hand- holds or footholds) in order to avoid losing your balance and falling. Re-tighten immediately any hand grip securing bolts which become loose. Clean the hand grips, track frame, and tracks immediately if they become oily or greasy.
Clean the cab floor thoroughly if it becomes soiled with oil, grease, mud, or debris. F00832 1.7 PREVENTION OF FUEL AND OIL FIRES Fuel, oil, and certain types of anti-freeze can catch fire extremely easily if they come into contact with a naked flame. Fuel is particularly inflammable and is therefore a severe fire hazard. Keep naked flames away from inflammable liq- uids. Switch off the engine and refrain from smoking while refuelling. Only refuel with the engine switched off and with the machine in a well ventilated area. Keep a well demarcated area aside for refuel- ling operations and do not allow unauthorised persons in the vicinity. S00002 4
