1.1 Operating Safety
Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of the
machine. Machines operated improperly or by untrained personnel
can be hazardous. Read the operating instructions contained in this
manual and the engine manual, and familiarize yourself with the
location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should
receive instruction from someone familiar with the machine before
being allowed to operate it.
1.1.1 Always operate the machine with all safety devices and guards in
place and in working order.
1.1.2 ALWAYS check that all controls are functioning properly immediately
after start-up! DO NOT operate the machine unless all controls operate
correctly.
1.1.3 ALWAYS remain aware of changing surface conditions and use extra
care when operating over uneven ground, on hills, or over soft or
coarse material. The machine could shift or slide unexpectedly.
1.1.4 ALWAYS remain aware of changing positions and the movement of
other equipment and personnel on the job site.
1.1.5 ALWAYS use caution when operating near the edges of pits, trenches
or platforms. Check to be sure that the ground surface is stable enough
to support the weight of the machine with the operator and that there
is no danger of the roller sliding, falling, or tipping.
1.1.6 ALWAYS position yourself safely when operating machine in reverse
or on hills. Leave enough space between yourself and the machine so
you will not be placed in a hazardous position should the machine slide
or tip.
1.1.7 ALWAYS operate the machine with both of your feet on the ground!
DO NOT stand, sit, or ride on machine while in operation.
1.1.8 ALWAYS remain aware of moving parts and keep hands, feet, and
loose clothing away from the moving parts of the machine.
1.1.9 NEVER operate the machine with the fuel cap loose or missing.
