SAFETY

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 machine to unexpectedly move
when a body part unintentionally 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 position. Turn the key switch OFF
to stop the engine.

Before leaving the machine, close all windows, doors, and
access covers and lock them up.
Fasten Your Seat Belt

If the machine should overturn, the operator may become
injured and/or thrown from the cab. Additionally the
operator may be crushed by the overturning machine,
resulting in serious injury or death.

Prior to operating the machine, thoroughly examine
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 securely
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 condition.
