Safety - Section 20 9/11 OM2041 Page 20-2 Leaving The Operator’s Seat Fire Prevention For Fuel And Oil When preparing to leave the operator's seat, do not touch any control lever that is not locked. To prevent accidental operations from occurring, always perform the following: Fuel, oil, and antifreeze can be ignited by a flame. Fuel is extremely flammable and can be hazardous. Keep flames away from flammable fluids. Move the directional control lever to PARK. Do not use the wheel brake lock when the engine will be turned off. Keep oil and fuel in a designated location and do not allow unauthorized persons to enter. When refueling, stop the engine and do not smoke.
Lower the dump body to the frame. Stop the engine. When exiting the truck, always lock compartments and take the keys with you. If the truck should suddenly move or move in an unexpected way, this may result in serious bodily injury or death. Refueling and oiling should be done in well ventilated areas. Tighten all fuel and oil tank caps securely. Mounting And Dismounting Use the handrails and steps when getting on or off the truck. Never jump on or off the truck. Never climb on or off a truck while it is moving. When climbing on or off a truck, face the truck and use the hand-hold and steps. Never hold any control levers when getting on or off a truck.
Always maintain three-point contact with the hand-holds and steps to ensure that you support yourself. When bringing tools into the operator's compartment, always pass them by hand or pull them up by rope. If there is any oil, grease, or mud on the hand- holds or steps, wipe them clean immediately. Always keep these components clean. Repair any damage and tighten any loose bolts.
