•
Before getting on the machine, walk around it and check for people and objects that might be in the way.
•
Do not start the engine if warning plates have been attached to the control levers.
•
When starting the engine, sound the horn as an alert signal.
•
Start the engine only while seated with fastened safety belt.
•
Do not allow anyone to get on the machine.
•
Before operating the machine travel levers, check the position
of the blade.
If the blade is positioned on the back of the machine, the oper-
ation of the travel levers is inverted.
In this condition, take care not to mistake the travel move-
ments during the use of the machine.

•
When operating in areas that may be hazardous or have poor
visibility, designate a person to direct the movements of the
machine and traffic on the work site.
•
Make sure that no unauthorized person is within the machine
operating radius or in its travel direction.
If necessary, put up appropriate fences.
•
Before moving the machine, sound the horn in order to warn
the persons near the work area.
•
There are blind spots behind the machine, which cannot be
seen and where someone may be standing: therefore, it is
necessary to make sure that there is no one behind the ma-
chine before travelling in reverse.
