SAFETY FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT If the machine should overturn, the operator may become injured and/or thrown from the cab. Additionally the opera- tor may be crushed by the overturning machine, resulting in serious injury or death. • Prior to operating the machine, thoroughly examine web- bing, buckle and attaching hardware. If any item is dam- aged or worn, replace the seat belt or component before operating the machine. • Be sure to remain seated with the seat belt securely fas- tened at all times when the machine is in operation to minimize the chance of injury from an accident. • We recommend that the seat belt be replaced every three years regardless of its apparent condition.
