TIDY UP INSIDE OPERATOR’S SPACE
•
Always keep inside the operator’s space clean by ob-
serving instructions below, to prevent any personal ac-
cidents from occurring.
•
Remove mud and/or oily material from the shoe soles
before entering the operator’s space. If pedals are oper-
ated without removing mud or oily matter, the foot may
slip off the pedal, possibly creating a hazardous situa-
tion.
•
Do not leave parts and/or tools around the operator’s
seat.
•
Do not keep a transparent water bottle in the operator’s
space. The transparent water bottle may concentrate the
sun light like a lens, possibly causing a fire.
•
Do not wear radio or music headphones and do not use
a cell phone while traveling or operating the machine.
•
Never allow hazardous materials such as combustible
and/or explosive material in the operator’s space.
•
Do not leave a lighter in the cab. If the temperature in the
cab increases, the lighter may explode.

Falling is one of the major causes of personal injury.
•
When you get on and off the machine, always face the
machine.

Maintain a three-point contact with the steps and
handrails.

Do not use any controls as handholds.
•
Never jump on or off the machine. Never mount or
dismount a moving machine.

or mud is present on steps, handrails, or platforms,
thoroughly remove such material.
