PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN WORKING 2.4 PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN WORKING 2.4.1 STARTING THE ENGINE Before getting on the machine, walk around it and check for people and objects that might be in the way.

Start the engine only while seated with fastened safety belt. Do not allow anyone to get on the machine. 2.4.2 CHECK THE DIRECTION BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE Before operating the machine travel levers, check the position of the blade. If the blade is positioned on the back side, the travel levers must be operated in the opposite direction.

Make sure that no unauthorized person is within the machine operating radius or in its travel direction. If necessary, put up appropriate fences. Before moving the machine, sound the horn in order to warn the persons near the work area. There are blind spots behind the machine, which cannot be seen and where someone may be standing: therefore, it is nec- essary to make sure that there is no one behind the machine before travelling in reverse.
