Mounting and Dismounting Before getting on or off the machine, if there is any oil, grease, or mud on the handrails, steps, or track shoes, wipe it off immediately. Always keep these parts clean. Repair any damage and tighten any loose bolts. Never jump on or off the machine. In particular, never get on or off a moving machine. These actions may lead to serious injury. When getting on or off the machine, always face the machine, and maintain three-point contact (both feet and one hand or one foot and both hands) with the handrails, steps, and track shoes to ensure that you support yourself securely. Never hold any control levers when getting on or off the machine.
Apply the door lock securely. If you grip the handrail inside the door when moving on top of the track shoes, and the door lock is not applied securely, the door may move and cause you to fall. Use the points marked by arrows in the diagram when getting on or off the machine. FG000355 Figure 2 Fuel, Oil and Hydraulic Fluid Fire Hazards Fuel, oil and antifreeze will catch fire if it is brought close to a flame. Fuel is particularly flammable and can be hazardous. Always strictly observe the following. Add fuel, oil, antifreeze and hydraulic fluid to the machine only in a well ventilated area.
The machine must be parked with controls, lights and switches turned "OFF." The engine must be "OFF" and any flames, glowing embers, auxiliary heating units or spark causing equipment must be doused, turned "OFF" and/ or kept well clear of the machine. Static electricity can produce dangerous sparks at the fuel filling nozzle. In very cold, dry weather or other conditions that could produce a static discharge, keep the tip of the fuel nozzle in constant contact with the neck of the fuel filling nozzle, to provide a ground. Figure 3 Keep fuel and other fluid reservoir caps tight and do not start the engine until caps have been secured. SP000014 Page 17 Track Excavator Safety
