GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
26
2.2.6 GETTING ON AND OFF THE
MACHINE
q
Do not jump on or off the machine, either when it is at rest
and when it is moving.
q
When getting on or off the machine, always use the appro-
priate handles and footboards; get on and off the machine
very carefully.
q
Never hold or rest on the control levers.
q
Either when getting on and when getting off the machine,
always maintain three points of contact (holding or resting
points), in order to avoid losing your balance and falling
down.
q
Clean the handles and footboards if they are dirty with oil or
grease.
Carefully clean the cab floor if it is dirty with oil, grease, mud
or rubble.
2.2.7 CHECKING THE REAR-VIEW MIR-
RORS (if installed)
q
Make sure that the rear-view mirrors are clean and correctly
directed; the operator must be able to check the area behind
the machine with no need to move the trunk with respect to
his normal operating position.
q
If the rear-view mirrors should move or break during the ope-
rations, stop the machine immediately and fix or change
them.
q
Working without checking the area behind the machine in-
volves the risk of running over persons who have incautiou-
sly approached the machine or colliding with fixed obstacles
or manoeuvring vehicles.
