SAFETY

SA-6

SA-439

SA-378

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.



Before getting on or off the machine, check the condition

of the steps and handrails for sticking of slippery material

like grease or mud. Thoroughly remove such material if

stuck. In addition, repair the damage to the steps and/or

handrails. Retighten loose bolts.



Never get on and off the machine with tools in your

hands.

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.
