Inside Operator's Cabin

with mud or oil stuck to your shoes, your foot may slip and this
can cause a serious accident.
After using the ashtray, make sure that any matches or
ci
garettes are properly extinguished, and be sure to close the
ashtray. If the ashtray is left open, there is a danger of fire.
Do not stick suction pads to the window glass. Suction pads act
as a
lens and can cause fire.
Do not leave lighters laying around the operator's cabin. If the
tempe

danger that lighter may explode.
