Use Handrails and Steps

 Falling is one of the major causes of personal injury.
 When you get on and off the machine, always use the
crawler instead of the step for safety. Also get on and off
from the position of the crawler that can secure your feet
space enough.
 When you get on and off the machine, always face the
machine.
 Maintain a three-point contact with the steps and
handrails.
 Do not use any controls as handholds.
 Never jump on or off the machine. Never mount or
dismount a moving machine.
 In case adhered slippery material such as oil, grease,
or mud is present on steps, handrails, or platforms,
thoroughly remove such material.

Adjust the Operator's Seat

 A poorly adjusted seat for either the operator or for the
work at hand may quickly fatigue the operator leading to
misoperations.
 The seat should be adjusted whenever changing the
operator for the machine.
 The operator should be able to fully depress the pedals
and to correctly operate the control levers with his back
against the seat back.
 If not, move the seat forward or backward, and check
again.
 Adjust the rear view mirror position so that the best rear
visibility is obtained from the operator's seat. If the mirror
is broken, immediately replace it with a new one.
