Adjust The Operator's Seat - Hitachi EH1100-3 Workshop Manual

USE HANDHOLDS AND STEPS
Falling is one of the major causes of personal injury.
• When entering or leaving the rigid dump truck, always
use the steps and the handrails.
• Do not use any controls as handholds.
• When you get on and off the rigid dump truck, always
face the rigid dump truck and maintain a three-point
grip with the steps and handrails. (i.e., Two hands and
one foot or one hand and two feet.)
• DO NOT JUMP on or off the rigid dump truck. Never
mount or dismount a moving rigid dump truck.
• Do not step or climb on surfaces, which are not
intended for walking. Step only on the areas provided
with the slip resistant surfaces.
• Be careful of slippery conditions on platforms, steps,
and handrails when leaving the rigid dump truck.
• All steps, ladders, stairways, handholds, platforms,
walkways, and guardrails must be free of dirt, snow,
and ice.
• All steps, ladders, stairways, platforms, walkways,
and non-skid deck strips must be replaced if
damaged.
• The use of a rope is recommended to hoist up to the
deck or cab lunch box, tools, etc so as to maintain a
three-point grip when entering or leaving the rigid
dump truck.

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
miss-operations.
• The seat should be adjusted whenever changing the
operator for the rigid dump truck.
• 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 to adjust,
and check again.
