SAFETY GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
23
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety precautions may lead to a serious accident.
ALWAYS APPLY (RAISE) SAFETY LOCK LEVER WHEN
LEAVING OPERATOR’S SEAT
●
When standing up from the operator’s seat, always raise the
safety lock lever to the LOCK position. If you accidentally
touch the travel or swing lever when they are not locked, the
machine may suddenly move and cause serious injury or
damage.
REMARK
In certain conditions it may be possible for the safety lock
lever to contact the left hand arm rest on the operator seat.
to avoid this, always ensure that the left hand arm rest is stowed
in the fully up position before operating the safety lock lever.
● When leaving the machine, lower the work equipment com-
pletely to the ground, set the safety lock lever to the LOCK
position, then stop the engine and use the key to lock the
machine. Always take the key with you.
WARNING
If the control lever is touched by accident, the work equip-
ment or the machine may move suddenly, and this may lead
to a serious accident. Before leaving the operator’s compart-
ment, always raise the safety lock lever to lock the work
equipment controls.
MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
●
NEVER jump on or off the machine. NEVER get on or off a
moving machine.
●
When mounting or dismounting, always face the machine and
use the handrails (A), machine or chassis steps (B).
●
Do not hold any control levers when getting on or off the
machine.
●
Ensure safety by always maintaining at least three-point con-
tact of hands and feet with the handrails, steps or wheels.
●
Always remove any oil or mud from the handrails, steps and
track shoes. If they are damaged, repair them and tighten any
loose bolts.
●
If grasping the door handrail when mounting or dismounting
or moving on the chassis steps, open and lock the door
securely in the open position. Otherwise, the door may move
suddenly, causing you to lose balance and fall.
