SECTION 02 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 15
INSPECT THE MACHINE
Inspect the machine carefully every day or work-shift
by an attentive visual inspection of machine outside
prior to starting it to prevent damages and personal
injuries.
In the walk-around inspection, be sure to cover all
points detailed in the Chapter MAINTENANCE, par-
agraph EXTERNAL VISUAL INSPECTION.
USE HANDHOLDS AND STEPS
Falling is one of the major causes of personal injury.
When you get on and off the machine, always main-
tain a three-point contact with the steps and hand-
rails and face the machine.
Do not use any controls as hand-holds.
Never jump on or off the machine.
Never mount or dismount a moving machine.
Be careful of slippery conditions on platforms, steps,
and handrails when leaving the machine.
ADJUST THE SEAT
A seat poorly adjusted for operator or work require-
ments may quickly fatigue the operator leading to
improper operations:
the seat should be adjusted whenever machine op-
erator changes;
the operator should be able to fully press the ped-
als and correctly move the control levers with his
back resting against the seat back;
if not, move the seat fore and aft, and check again.
