Do not use the machine foot controls as steps.

When mounting or dismounting the machine always use the 3 point technique; use one hand with 2 feet or 2 hands with 1 foot. Avoid mounting or dismounting the machine in areas with slippery surfaces. If this is not possible, clean up or cover slippery surfaces with a non-slip material. To reduce risk of fire, machines should be completely cleaned of debris at least daily, particularly around the engine exhaust components. Hydraulic oil leaks, excess grease, fuel and oil accumulation (including spillage) should be eliminated immediately, always shut off engine before cleaning machine. Maintain a clean cab interior, clear away trash or debris. Machine should be washed completely at every major service. Inspect the machine daily for signs of damage or unusual wear, to structures. Check for fluid leaks, or faulty operation. Repair or replace malfunctioning parts and systems immediately. Check windows and door guards for damage.
