Entering and Exiting the Operator Cabin
When mounting or dismounting the truck three points must be kept in constant contact
with the truck. That means one hand and two feet, or two hands and one foot – at all
times. Anything less and the risk of a fall is increased. Handgrips and footsteps have
been provided to allow easy and safe access to the operating enclosure. DO NOT use
the steering wheel as a handgrip.
Remember:
Check that the handgrips and footsteps are clean and in
good condition before using.
Always face in towards the machine and use the handgrips
and footsteps provided.
Mount and dismount only when the truck is stopped.
Break three-point contact only when you reach the ground
or cab.
Take extra care in wet, snowy or icy weather.
Avoid wearing loose or torn clothing that can catch on the
truck.
NEVER JUMP!
