Keep the cab doors closed when driving or steering the machine to prevent accidental entry of branches and debris into the cab. Keep the cab doors closed and use seat belt when driving or steering the machine to prevent being thrown from the operator's cab. Secure loose items in the cab. Prior to commencing work, check all equipment controls to ensure that the machine responds correctly.

Always rest the attachment on the ground when operation is stopped, regardless if the engine is running or shut off. Operate the machine only from a seated position in the operator’s seat. Watch for ground hazards such as metal debris, wire fencing or rocks.
The left arm rest safety interlock switch (pilot system shut off limit switch) and the pilot reset switch are a safety feature and their function must not be defeated in any way.
