G Use the handrails and steps marked by arrows in the dia- gram on the right when getting on or off the machine. G To ensure safety, always face the machine and maintain three-point contact (both feet and one hand, or both hands and one foot) with the handrails and steps (including the track shoe) to ensure that you support yourself. G Do not grip the control levers when getting on or off the machine. G Never climb on the engine hood or covers where there are no non-slip pads.
