A seat that is poorly adjusted with respect to the operator or the work- ing conditions may result in prema- ture operator fatigue and thus in faulty operation. - Always face the machine when entering or leaving it, and use only the aids provided, e.g. steps and handrails. - The seat must be adjusted with any change of machine operator. - Never use operating elements as grab handles. - The operator must be able to de- press the pedals completely and move the control levers effort- lessly with his back resting against the backrest.
- Never jump down from the ma- chine. - Never climb up onto or down from a moving machine. - Watch for slippery platforms, steps and handles when leaving the machine. If that is not possible, move the seat forward or back and check the setting again. Consult the relevant section in the Owner’s Manual.
