A careful operator is the best operator. Most
accidents can be avoided by observing certain
precautions. To help prevent accidents, read and take
the following precautions before operating machine.
Equipment should be operated only by those who are
responsible and instructed to do so.
GENERAL
1. Read the Operator's Manual carefully before using
the machine. Lack of operating knowledge can lead
to accidents.
2. Only allow properly trained and qualified persons
to operate the motor grader.
3. Wear proper safety equipment as required by the
job, such as hard hats, safety glasses, ear protection,
heavy gloves, reflective vests, etc. Consult your
employer, site supervisor or OSHA for specific
requirements.
4. To prevent falls, use assist rails and steps when
getting on and off the machine. Keep steps and
platform clear of mud, oil, grease, snow, tools, and
debris.
5. Do not use controls or hoses as handholds when
climbing on or off machine. Controls may move and
inadvertently cause machine travel or implement
movement.
6. Do not permit anyone but the operator to ride on
the motor grader. There is no safe place for extra
riders.
7. Never use moldboard or implements as a
personnel lift.
8. Do not use the machine as scaffolding or a work
platform.
9. Replace all missing, illegible or damaged safety
decals.
10. Keep safety decals free of dirt and grime.
11. Do not modify or alter or permit anyone to
modify or alter machine or any of its components or
machine functions without first consulting an
authorized dealer.
12. Do not operate machine without ROPS or FOPS
in place and in good condition.
13. Install all shields before starting or operating
machine.
14. Do not operate an unsafe machine. If items are
found during inspection that render a machine
unsafe, be sure any malfunctions are remedied before
accepting responsibility for operation.
OPERATING
1. Do not start engine or operate controls while
standing beside the vehicle. Always sit in the seat
when starting engine or operating controls.

any reported problems have been repaired and all
shielding is in place before accepting responsibility
for machine operation.
3. Do not bypass transmission neutral start switch.
Consult an authorized dealer if the neutral start
controls malfunction. Use jumper cables only in the
recommended manner. Improper use can result in a
runaway vehicle.
4. Check brakes, steering and implement controls
before moving. Advise maintenance personnel of
malfunctions before operating. Be sure malfunctions
are remedied before accepting responsibility for
operation.
5. Avoid accidental contact with the transmission
control lever while the engine is running. Unexpected
movement may result from such contact.
6. Do not get off or on the vehicle while it is moving.

parking brake and shut off the engine before getting
off the machine.
