SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS WHEN
OPERATING
Ensure good visibility
Check the field of view before operating the
machine.
• When working in dark places, turn on the
machine’s working lights and headlights
and additional lighting equipment installed,
as necessary.
• When visibility is poor due to bad weather
(fog, snow, rain or a cloud of dust), stop
operating the machine and wait until
visibility improves.
• Clean the windows, mirrors, lights and
camera to ensure good visibility. Adjust the
mirror and camera to the best positions so
that the operator can see the rear view
(blind spots) from the operator’s seat.
• Unauthorized machine modifications or
installation of unapproved attachments
could impair the visibility. The operator’s
field of view must conform to ISO 5006.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING
Do not permit riders on the machine
Do not allow anyone to ride on any part of
the machine at any time while traveling or
operating.
Operate the machine only from the
operator’s seat
When operating any lever, pedal or switch,
always do it while sitting in the operator’s
seat. Failure to do so could cause serious
injury or death.
