Cleaning Remove all straw, wood chips, leaves, grass, paper and other flammable debris accumulated in engine compartment, Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), mufflers and around battery. Remove any dirt from window glass, mirrors, handrails, and steps. Do not leave tools or spare parts in operator's cabin. Vibration of machine during operation can cause tools or spare parts to fall and damage or break control levers or switches. Tools and spare parts can also get caught in spaces between control levers and cause accidental movement of work equipment causing death or serious injury. When entering operator's cabin, always remove all mud and oil from your shoes.
If you operate travel pedal with mud or oil stuck to your shoes, your foot could slip off the control, or dirt and debris may interfere with proper operation of control levers. After using ashtray, make sure that any matches or cigarettes are properly extinguished, and be sure to close ashtray. Clean window glass and working lights for good visibility. Do not stick suction pads to window glass. Suction pads act as a lens and can cause fire. Never bring flammable or explosive items into operator's cabin. Do not leave cigarette lighters laying around operator's cabin. If temperature inside operator's cabin becomes too high, there is a potential hazard that lighter could explode.
Secure all loose items such as lunch boxes, and other items that are not a part of equipment. Operator Station Inspect condition of seat belt and mounting hardware. Replace any parts that are worn or damaged. Do not use a seat belt extension on a retractable seat belt. Adjust seat so full pedal travel can be achieved with operator's back against back of seat. Keep all windows and doors closed on machine. Adjust operator's seat to a position where it is easy to perform operations, and check that there is no damage or excessive wear to seat belt or mounting clamps. Adjust and clean mirrors so area to rear of machine can be seen clearly from operator's seat.
When standing up from operator's seat, always place safety lock lever securely in "LOCK" position. If you accidentally move work equipment levers when they are not locked, the machine could suddenly move and cause damage, death or serious injury. DX225LC-3 Safety 1-34
