PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE 2.3 PRECAUTIONS REGARDING THE CAB Do not store articles or tools in the cab. They can obstruct the controls and cause serious accidents. Keep the floor of the cab and the controls (pedals and levers) free from oil and grease. Do not allow earth or gravel to accumulate on the floor of the cab. Regularly check the condition of the safety belt and replace it if damaged or worn. Replace it only with an approved model available from FKI or any FKI dealer. 2.4 VENTILATION OF ENCLOSED AREAS Before starting the engine in restricted or enclosed spaces, make sure that there is ade- quate ventilation, or connect the exhaust pipe to an outside outlet.
Engine exhaust gases can be lethal. 2.5 CLEANING WINDOWS, MIRRORS AND HEADLIGHTS - CHECKING WIPER BLADES, LAMPS Keep the cab windows, headlights, and rear-view mirrors clean.They are essential to a clear view of the work area. Adjust the rear-view mirrors if they have been moved to obtain a clear view of the area behind the machine. Replace any cracked mirrors immediately. Make sure that all bulbs, including those of the work floodlights are functioning perfectly. Replace any burned out bulbs with new ones of the same rating. Check the wiper blades for wear or damage. The scraping edge must be straight, smooth, and fully attached to the body of the blade.
Replace the blade if the scraping edge becomes worn or damaged. 11 S00010
