SAFETY FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT If the machine should overturn, the operator may become injured and/or thrown from the cab. Addi- tionally the operator may be crushed by the over- turning machine, resulting in serious injury or death. Prior to operating the machine, thoroughly ex- amine webbing, buckle and attaching hardware. If any item is damaged or worn, replace the seat belt or component before operating the machine. Be sure to remain seated with the seat belt se- curely fastened 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 con- dition.
SA-237 MOVE AND OPERATE MACHINE SAFELY Bystanders can be run over. Take extra care not to run over bystanders. Con- firm the location of bystanders before moving, or operating the machine. Always keep the travel alarm and horn in working condition (if equipped). It warns people when the machine starts to move. Use a signal person when moving, swinging, or operating the machine in congested areas. Coor- dinate hand signals before starting the machine. Use appropriate illumination. Check that all lights are operable before operating the machine. If any faulty illumination is present, immediately repair it. 010-E01A-0237 SA-398 011-E01A-0398 HANDLE STARTING AIDS SAFELY Starting fluid:
Starting fluid is highly flammable. Keep all sparks and flame away when using it. Keep starting fluid well away from batteries and cables. Remove container from machine if engine does not need starting fluid. To prevent accidental discharge when storing a pressurized container, keep the cap on the con- tainer, and store it in a cool, well-protected loca- tion. Do not incinerate or puncture a starting fluid con- tainer. SA-293 036-E01A-0293-3 SA-6
