Because the machine body base is of solid steel construction

floor profile incorporates two gutters, one on each side. At
the rear end of each gutter is a blanking plate
A
which is
secured by two bolts.
1 Lower the loader arm to its lowest position with a shovel
installed.
2 Operate the Loader Arm/Shovel control lever as if to tip
the shovel for unloading. This action will raise the front of
the machine off the ground.
3 Stop the engine and remove the starter key.
4 If necessary, remove the floor plate in front of the
operator's seat by unscrewing the four bolts securing it to
the chassis.

chassis gutters - slacken off one bolt and the plate will
swing away.

similar plate is fitted to the right side gutter.
6 Hose out the machine floor taking care not to get water
into the electrical circuits.
