Injury from Work Equipment
Do not enter or put your hand, arm or any other part of your body
between movable parts, such as between the work equipment
and cylinders, or between the machine and work equipment.
If the control levers are operated, the
clearance between the
machine and the work equipment will change and this may lead
to serious damage or personal injury.
If going between movable parts is necessary, always position
an
d secure the work equipment so it cannot move.
Fire Extinguisher and First Aid Kit
As a precaution if any injury or fire should occur, always do the
following.
• Be sure that fire extinguishers have been provided and
re

is recommended that an appropriately sized (2.27 kg [5 lb]
or
lar

mounted in the cabin. Check and service the fire
extinguisher at regular intervals and make sure that all
work site crew members are adequately trained in its use.

make any additions if necessary.
• Know what to do in case of injury
from f

• Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance service,
hospi
tal and fire department near your telephone.
If the machine catches fire, it may lead to serious personal injury
or dea

machine as follows:
• Turn the starter switch to "O" (OFF) position and stop
engine
.
