SAFETY 

SA-6 

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.

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 mis-operations. 

 

• 

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.
