SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION WARNING: Failure to follow these safety precautions may lead to a serious accident. Adjust the operator’s seat to a position where it is easy to carry out operations, and check for wear or damage to the seat belt (if installed) mounting equipment. Adjusting operator’s seat See "ADJUST OPERATOR’S SEAT". Handling seat belt see “Seat Belt Adjustment” on page 113. Check that the gauges work properly, and check that the con- trol levers are all at the parking position. Method for checking operation of gauges See "CHECKS BEFORE STARTING ENGINE". Remove all dirt from the surface of the mirrors, windows, and lights so that there is a clear view.
Adjust the mirrors so that there is a clear view from the opera- tor’s seat. When adjusting, see “CHECKS BEFORE STARTING ENGINE” on page 102. If the mirrors are broken, replace them with new parts. A0055020 If any problems are found in the above checks, always carry out repairs immediately. WHEN STARTING ENGINE Walk around your machine again just before mounting it, and check for people and objects that might be in the way. Never start the engine if a warning tag has been attached to the wrist control lever. When starting the engine, sound the horn as a warning. Start and operate the machine only while seated. The operator must not let any other person sit or stand any- where in the cab.
Do not allow anyone to ride on the machine body. Do not short circuit the starting motor circuit to start the engine. It is not only dangerous, but will also cause damage to the equipment. When after starting engine, do not lubricate or supply oil. 27
