Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as earmuffs or earplugs to protect against noise. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing. This machine exceeds 70dB(A) in the cab and exceeds 85dB(A) when servicing machine engine. Use the handrails and steps provided when mounting and dismounting from the machine. Do not jump off the machine at any time. Do not try to climb onto or off of a moving machine. Do not use the seat armrest or joystick as handle when entering or leaving the cab. 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. Check protective windows for cracks, a damaged window has reduced strength to stop flying objects. All damaged windows must be replaced with original equipment. Check windows for scratching, crazing and cloudiness that could impair clear visibility all around the machine. Do not operate the machine with any defective or inoperable components. Check all fluid levels. Do not operate the machine with any of the exhaust system, safety covers, oil shields, or other devices removed.
