• The operator’s area, steps and hand holds must be free of oil, dirt, ice and
unsecured objects.
• If a lighting system is installed, check its operation before working in
darkness.
• Always keep lights, mirrors and windows clean. Poor visibility can cause
accidents.
• NEVER start the engine if there is any indication that maintenance or
service work is in progress, or if a warning tag is attached to the controls.
• Replace damaged safety decals and a lost or damaged operator’s manual.
• Terrain and soil conditions at the work site, approaching traffic, weather-
related hazards and any above-or below-ground obstacles and hazards
should be observed and monitored by all work crew members.
• Adjust the seat to allow full actuation of all controls. Never adjust the seat
during machine operation.
• Read the operator’s manual provided with each attachment used with the
machine before starting the engine.
• Before working on or with the machine, remove jewelry, tie back long
hair, and do not war loose-fitting garments, such as, scarves, ties,
unzipped jackets, etc., which could become caught in the moving parts of
the machine and cause injury.
During Operation
• ALWAYS fasten the seat belt securely and properly. Never operate the
machine without the seat belt fastened around the operator.
• Check indicators and displays for normal conditions after starting the
engine. Listen for unusual sounds and remain alert for other potentially
hazardous conditions.
• Control the machine cautiously and gradually until fully familiar with all
the controls and handling.
• Do not overload the machine. See weights and capacities information
starting on page 33 for the load limits.
• If the machine is equipped with a 2-post ROPS, do not overfill the
attachment and lift loads higher than the operator’s head. Objects can fall
out of the attachment and roll down the lift arm toward the operator
causing severe injury. Install a a Falling-Object Protective Structure
(FOPS) if the machine is used to lift loads above the operator’s head.
• Do not raise or drop a loaded bucket or attachment suddenly. Abrupt
movements under load can cause serious instability.
• Check that attachments are securely fastened to the attachment hitch
before working.
• Never activate the float function with the bucket or attachment loaded or
raised, because this will cause the lift arm to lower or bucket to dump
rapidly.
• Never operate the machine without a ROPS or FOPS installed.
