PRECAUTIONS WHEN GETTING ON OR OFF MACHINE

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STANDING UP FROM OPERATOR'S SEAT
Before standing up from the operator's seat to adjust the seat,
always perform the following. Turn off the blade automatic con-
trol. Lower the work equipment to the ground, operate the work
equipment lock lever (1) and parking brake lever (2) by holding
the operating portions on the top, set the levers to LOCK posi-
tion (L), and stop the engine.
If the control levers are touched by mistake, there is danger
that the machine may suddenly move and cause serious per-
sonal injury or death.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN LEAVING MACHINE
If the proper procedures are not taken when parking the machine, the machine may suddenly move off by itself,
and this may lead to serious personal injury or death. Observe the following.
• When leaving the machine, always turn off the blade auto-
matic control and lower the work equipment to the ground.
Operate the work equipment lock lever (1) and parking
brake lever (2) by holding the operating portions on the
top, set the levers to LOCK position (L), and stop the en-
gine.
• Lock all the places and always take the key with you and
keep it in the specified place.

PRECAUTIONS FOR BLADE AUTOMATIC CONTROL

• While the automatic control of blade is in operation, the blade moves even if the operator does not operate
the blade control lever.
Before turning the automatic control of blade ON, check thoroughly that there are no persons or obstacles
in the area around the machine.
• While the automatic control of blade is in operation, if the operator operates blade control lever, this blade
lever operation is given the priority and the blade moves as operated by the operator. When the operator
stops lever operation, the automatic control of blade restarts.
