A few simple safety rules
General
Remedy faults or defects which affect the safety as soon as possible.
Always wear a hard hat, safety glasses, gloves, protective shoes and other protective articles when required.
Do not remain in front of or behind the machine while the engine is running.
To avoid unnecessary climbing on the machine use either a long-handled rubber scraper or brush for cleaning the
outsides of the windows.
When servicing the machine and for instance when changing bulbs, a ladder may be necessary.
Make sure that stepping surfaces, service areas, handles and anti-slip surfaces are free from oil, diesel fuel, dirt and
ice and that they are changed if they are damaged or missing.
Check at regular intervals that all anti-slip items are securely fitted. If this is not the case, they should be secured or
replaced.
