Overhead Guard
The overhead guard is designed to give you protection
in an accident. You must always wear your seatbelt or
you could be thrown about inside the operator’s
compartment, or thrown out of the machine and
crushed. Always fasten the seatbelt before starting the
machine.
If the machine is involved in an accident, hold onto the
steering wheel tightly, brace your feet and lean away
from the impact. When the machine comes to a rest,
switch the starter key to the OFF position, unfasten the
seatbelt and exit the machine.
Never carry out any unauthorized alterations to the
overhead guard, e.g. lowering the roof height, drilling
or welding on brackets for a fire extinguisher, radio
aerial or other equipment, without first having
discussed the alteration with the engineering personnel
from the manufacturers engineering department.
Any modification can adversely affect the structural
integrity of the overhead guard and could cause the
overhead guard to fail in the event of an accident.
