•
Do not jump on or off the machine, either when it is at rest and
when it is moving.
•
When getting on or off the machine, always use the handles
and the safety ladders; get on and off the machine very care-
fully.
•
Never hold or rest on the steering wheel or the gearshift lever.
•
Either when getting on and when getting off the machine, al-
ways maintain three points of contact (holding or resting
points), in order to avoid losing your balance and falling down.
•
Tighten the handle and ladder connection screws if they are
loose and clean the handles and steps if they are dirty with oil
or grease. Carefully clean the cab floor if it is dirty with oil,
grease, mud or rubble.

•
Make sure that the rear-view mirrors are clean and correcly
positioned; they must allow the operator to see the rear of the
machine with no need to move the chest with respect to the
normal work position.
•
If the rear-view mirrors should move or break during work, stop
the machine immediately and fasten or change them.
•
Working without checking the back of the machine is danger-
ous, since the machine may hit persons who are incautiously
standing in the work area, fixed obstacles or manoeuvring ve-
hicles.

Fuel, oil and some types of antifreeze can be easily ignited if
they get in contact with a flame. Fuel is particularly flammable
and therefore extremely hazardous.
•
Keep any naked flame away from flammable fluids.
•
Stop the engine and do not smoke when refuelling.
•
Top up with fuel and oil only after stopping the engine and in
well ventilated areas.
•
Top up with fuel and oil in a well delimited area and do not al-
low unauthorized persons to approach.
