OPERATING THE MACHINE
USE HANDHOLDS AND STEPS
When you get on and off the machine, always main-
tain a three-point contact with the steps and hand-
rails and face the machine.
Do not use any controls as hand-holds.
Never jump on or off the machine.
Never enter a moving machine.
Be careful of slippery conditions on platforms, steps,
and handrails when leaving the machine.
ADJUST SEAT AND SEAT BELT
A seat poorly adjusted for operator or work require-
ments may quickly fatigue the operator leading to
improper operations.
The seat should be adjusted whenever another
operates machine.
The operator should be able to fully press the ped-
als and correctly move the control levers with his
back resting against the seat back.
If not, move the seat fore and/or aft, up and/or down
and check again.
On machines with a seat belt for operator’s safety:
- check the seat belt attached to the operator’s seat.
In the event of damage or after an accident, have
it replaced immediately;
- fasten seat belt before starting to work.
DON’T CARRY RIDERS ON THE MACHINE
Only machine operator is allowed on the machine.
