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, stand on the top step before opening
the door.

Never climb on the engine hood or covers where there are
no non-slip pads.

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.
