Handrails and steps 0.
To prevent personal injury caused by slipping or falling off the machine, always do as follows.
Use the handrails and steps marked by arrows in the dia-
gram on the right when getting on or off the machine.
To ensure safety, always face the machine and maintain
three-point contact (both feet and one hand, or both hands
and one foot) with the handrails and steps to ensure that
you support yourself.
When entering the cab, open the cab door, push the door
securely into catcher (1) to hold in position, then use the
handrail on the inside to get on the machine.
For details of the method of releasing the door lock, see
“Cab door open lock on page 3-44“.
Do not grip the control levers when getting on or off the
machine.
Never climb on the engine hood or covers where there are
no non-slip pads.
Never move from the step at the rear of the machine or the
step at the side of the cab to stand on top of the tire.
Before getting on or off the machine, check the handrails
and steps, and if there is any oil, grease, or mud on them,
wipe it off immediately. In addition, repair any damage and
tighten any loose bolts.
Do not get on or off the machine while holding tools in your
hand.
