Handrails and steps
To avoid injury when climbing up and down the machine, use the handrails and
steps marked by the triangular arrows in the drawing below.
To ensure safe boarding:
– Always face the machine while boarding or leaving it.
– Always keep hold on at least three points at any time while grabbing the
handrails and/or stepping on the track shoes (either two feet and one hand
or two hands and one foot).
– Never hold onto the joystick control.
– Never step on the engine without non-slip mat or cover plate.
– Check the handrails and steps (including the track shoes) for any oil
contamination, lubrication grease or mud.
– Do not jump on and off the machine, especially while it is moving.
– If the machine moves suddenly without instruction for use operations, it is
forbidden to jump up the machine and attempt to stop the machine.
Signals and gestures of the signalman
– Place the required warning signs when working on the roadside or other
unstable ground.
– If there is poor sight, ask for a co-worker to act as a signalman.
– The operator shall pay close attention to the signs and follow the
signalman’s commands thoroughly.
– Only one signalman can send the signals. Before operating, make sure all
of the workers understand all of the signals and gestures.
