2.4 PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN WORKING

2.4.1 STARTING THE ENGINE

Before getting on the machine, walk around it and check for people and objects that might be in the way.
Do not start the engine if warning plates have been attached to the control levers.
When starting the engine, sound the horn as an alert signal.
Start the engine only while seated with fastened safety belt.
Do not allow anyone to get on the machine.
2.4.2 CHECK THE DIRECTION BEFORE
STARTING THE MACHINE
Before operating the machine travel levers, check the position
of the blade.
If the blade is positioned on the back of the machine, the oper-
ation of the travel levers is inverted.
In this condition, take care not to mistake the travel move-
ments during the use of the machine.
(See "3.6.5 HOW TO MOVE THE MACHINE").
2.4.3 CHECKS FOR TRAVELLING IN RE-
VERSE
When operating in areas that may be hazardous or have poor
visibility, designate a person to direct the movements of the
machine and traffic on the work site.
Make sure that no unauthorized person is within the machine
operating radius or in its travel direction.
If necessary, put up appropriate fences.
Before moving the machine, sound the horn in order to warn
the persons near the work area.
There are blind spots behind the machine, which cannot be
seen and where someone may be standing: therefore, it is
necessary to make sure that there is no one behind the ma-
chine before travelling in reverse.
