Safety
Before moving the machine to the work site, check to ensure that all doors, panels, and access covers are installed properly and secured.
CAB EXITS
There are three ways to exit the cab in case of an emergency. 1. Front door, this is also the main point of entry and is the only door that should be used under normal operating conditions to enter or leave the cab. This door is also equipped with a SAFETY INTERLOCK SWITCH. See
SAFETY INTERLOCK SWITCH ON FRONT
DOOR in THIS SECTION. 2. Side door, should be used for emergency exits only. Do not use this door to routinely enter or leave the cab. This door is not equipped with a safety interlock switch and therefore when left open will not deactivate the pilot controls in the cab. ALWAYS SHUT OFF engine before using the side door exit. 3. Escape hatch, this is a third cab exit for use if the side exit or front door exit become blocked.
This hatch is not equipped with a safety interlock switch and therefore when left open will not deactivate the pilot controls in the cab.
ALWAYS SHUT OFF engine before using the escape hatch exit. It is important that the operator of the machine be familiar with these emergency exits and how to use them. All operators should practice using all the cab exits to become familiar with escape procedures should they need to perform them in the dark, when the machine is in a rolled position, or other possible adverse conditions. All three exits should be checked to make sure that they are operational and will function in an emergency. The safety interlock mechanism on the front door or the side door and escape hatch retaining mechanisms must not be tampered with or defeated.
IMPORTANT!
Unlock both doors before operating machine to allow opening from the outside in case of an emergency. Make sure that the doors are operational, open the doors twice, once using the exterior latch handle and once using the interior handle. For additional information, refer to EMERGENCY EXITS in SECTION 2 of THIS MANUAL.
