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-operation of the machine.
•
The seat should be adjusted whenever the operator
for the machine changes.
•
The operator should be able to fully depress the ped-
als and to correctly operate the control levers with his
back firmly against the seat back.
•
If not, readjust the seat forward or backward, and
check again.

ENSURE SAFETY BEFORE RISING FROM OR
LEAVING OPERATOR’S SEAT
•
Before rising from the operator’s seat to open/close cab
front 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 be-
come injured and/or thrown from the cab. Additionally
the operator may be crushed by the overturning machine,
resulting in serious injury or death.
•
Be sure to remain seated with the seat belt securely
fastened whenever operating the machine.
•
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. Replace the seat belt at
least once every 3 years regardless of appearance
