SAFETY USE HANDHOLDS AND STEPS Falling is one of the major causes of personal injury. When you get on and off the machine, always face the machine and maintain a three-point contact with the steps and handrails. Do not use any controls as hand-holds. Never jump on or off the machine. Never mount or dismount a moving machine. Be careful of slippery conditions on platforms, steps, and handrails when leaving the machine. SA-439 ADJUST THE OPERATOR'S SEAT A poorly adjusted seat for either the operator or for the work at hand may quickly fatigue the operator leading to misoperations. The seat should be adjusted whenever changing the operator for the machine.
The operator should be able to fully depress the pedals and to correctly operate the control levers with his back against the seat back. If not, move the seat forward or backward, and check again. Adjust the rear view mirror position so that the best rear visibility is obtained from the operator’s seat. If the mirror is broken, immediately replace it with a new one. 008-E01A-0439 SA-462 ENSURE SAFETY BEFORE RISING FROM OR LEAVING OPERATOR’S SEAT Before rising from the operator’s seat to open/close either side window or to adjust the seat position, be sure to first lower the front attachment to the ground and then move the pilot control shut-off lever to the LOCK position.
Failure to do so may allow the ma- chine to unexpectedly move when a body part un- intentionally comes in contact with a control lever, possibly resulting in serious personal injury or death. Before leaving the machine, be sure to first lower the front attachment to the ground and then move the pilot control shut-off lever to the LOCK posi- tion. Turn the key switch OFF to stop the engine. Before leaving the machine, close all windows, doors, and access covers and lock them up. 009-E01A-0462 SA-5
