BEFORE OPERATION
Different jobs will require different protective equip- •
ment. Items such as hard hats, protective shoes, hea-
vy gloves, reector type vests, respirators, ear protec-
tion, and eye protection can be required. Before you
start the job, determine what protective equipment is
required. Use this equipment at all times.
Be prepared for emergencies. Always have a rst aid •
kit and a working re extinguisher with you and know
how to use each.
Know the hand signals used on your job. Follow the •
instructions of the agman, signs, etc. See Hand Sig-
nals for more information.
Know the rules, laws, and safety equipment necessa- •
ry for transporting this machine on a road or highway.
Rotating beacon, backup alarm, slow moving vehicle
emblem and other safety equipment items are availa-
ble from your dealer CASE.
Avoid loose tting clothing, loose or uncovered long •
hair, and jewelry.
Check that all doors, guards, and covers are installed •
correctly or closed.
Foreign material or grease on the steps and hand rails •
can cause an accident. Keep the steps and hand rails
clean.
To avoid falling, always face the machine and use •
the hand rails and steps when getting on or getting
off. This will provide greater security in the movement
of the feet and hands, thereby helping to avoid acci-
dents.
Remove all loose objects from the cab. Loose objects •
can jam controls and cause accidents.
Operate the machine controls from the operators seat •
only.
Before you start the engine, always fasten the seat •
belt. Securely fasten your seat belt. Your machine is
equipped with a ROPS cab or canopy for your protec-
tion. The seat belt can help insure your safety if it is
used correctly and maintained. Never wear a seat belt
loosely or with slack in the belt system. Never wear
the seat belt in a twisted condition.

STEPS2.
Before you start each day, walk around the machine •
and check for oil or uid leaks. Replace all broken
or missing parts and do the required lubrication and
maintenance as shown in this manual. Clean all trash
and debris from the machine, especially from the en-
gine area.
Make sure all persons are away from the machine be- •
fore you start the engine.
Before starting the engine make sure that the parking •
brake is applied and all controls are in NEUTRAL po-
sition.
The horn must be activated to alert the people present •
in the working area.
Before you operate at night, check that all lamps illu- •
minate.
If your machine has a cab make sure that all win- •
dows are clean and that the windshield wipers work
correctly.

CHAPTER 2 – SAFETY / DECALS / HAND SIGNALS
2-3
MACHINE OPERATION
Do not steer the steering wheel if any person is pre- •
sent next to the machine and the center articulation.
Check all controls in a clear area and make sure the •
machine is operating correctly.
A frequent cause of accidents with injuries or death •
is people falling from the machine and subsequent
trampling. DO NOT allow other persons to ride on
the machine. Other persons can fall or can cause
an accident. This is a one person machine with one
operator’s seat.
Engine exhaust fumes can cause death. If you operate •
this machine in an enclosed area, make sure there is
ventilation to replace the exhaust fumes with fresh air.
Dust, fog, smoke, etc., can decrease your vision and •
cause an accident. Stop the machine or decrease the
speed until you can see everything around you in the
work area.
Contact with high voltage power lines, underground •
cables, etc., can cause serious injury or death from
electrocution. Make sure there is enough space be-
tween the machine and ohigh voltage power lines.
Before you drive or operate in an area with high volta-
ge lines, cables, or a power station, tell the power or
utility company what you are going to do. You MUST
HAVE THE POWER DISCONNECTED OR KEEP A
SAFE WORKING DISTANCE from the lines, cables,
or power station. Keep all parts of the machine at least
15 feet (5 m) away from the power source. You must
also know any federal, state / provincial, or local safe-
ty codes or regulations that apply to the job site.
If a part of the machine touches high voltage power: •
Warn other workers NOT TO TOUCH THE MA- •
CHINE and to stay away from the machine.
If you can break contact, reverse the operation that •
caused contact with the high voltage power, and
move the machine away from the danger area. If
you cannot break contact, stay in the machine until
the utility company de-energizes the line and tells
you that the power is off.
If you have extreme conditions, such as a re, etc., •
and you are forced to leave the machine, do not
step off the machine. Jump as far from the machi-
ne as possible with your feet together and do not
touch the ground with your hands.
Then, hop away with your feet together until you •
are a safe distance from the machine and the elec-
trical current. Do not take large steps. Because of
the voltage differential across the ground, one foot
can be in a higher voltage area than the other foot.
This difference can kill you.
Digging through underground cables, pipes, lines, •
etc., can cause injury or death. Learn the location of
all underground hazards before you operate your ma-
chine in any area.
If this machine roll over, you may hurt yourself or die. •
You must make a judgment if weather, road, or earth
conditions will permit safe operation on a hill, ramp, or
rough ground.
Stay away from hazardous areas such as ditches, •
overhangs, etc. Walk around the work area before you
start and look for hazards.
Be alert and always know the location of all workers •
in your area. Keep all other persons completely away
from your machine. Injury or death can result if you do
not follow these instructions.
When working in areas where trafc is heavy always •
have a person direct the trafc and direct other per-
sons for you. Have guard rails, warning signs, etc., as
required for your job.
Stop operating the machine if a malfunction occurs. •
Watch the indicator and warning lamps in the machi-
ne. Listen and smell for things that are not normal on
your machine.
Drive around large objects such as large rocks or trees. •
Operate the machine within the specied capacities •
and limits. See Specications section of this manual.
Operate the machine controls from the operators •
seat only.
DO NOT operate this machine if under alcohol or drug •
effect.

CHAPTER 2 – SAFETY / DECALS / HAND SIGNALS

Start Up
Do not start or operate an unsafe machine. Before •
working the machine, be sure that any unsafe condi-
tion has been satisfactorily remedied.
Check brakes and steering and attachment controls •
before moving. Advise the proper maintenance autho-
rity of any malfunction part or system.
Before starting machine, check, adjust and lock the •
operator’s seat for maximum comfort and control of
the machine.
Be sure all people in the area are clear of the unit •
before releasing the parking brake or moving the ma-
chine or its attachments. Walk completely around ma-
chine before mounting. Sound horn.
Obey agman, safety signals and signs. •
Due to the presence of ammable uid, never check or •
ll fuel tanks, storage batteries, or use starter uid near
lighted smoking materials or open ame or sparks.
Operating
Do not run the engine of this machine in closed area •
without proper ventilation to remove deadly exhaust
gases.
Do not use machine to carry loose objects by means •
other than attachments designed for such objects.
Do not carry riders unless the machine is equipped for •
carrying people to reduce personal exposure to being
thrown off.
Observe and know the mechanics of alternate exit •
routes.
Do not attempt to climb on or off machine while it is •
in motion.
When operating always look at the direction of the •
movement of the machine. Be sure exposed person-
nel in the area of operation are clear of the unit before
moving the machine or its attachments, mainly chil-
dren. If someone arrives in operation area, stop the
machine immediately.
Maintain a safe distance from other machines. Provi- •
de sufcient clearance for ground and visibility con-
ditions.
Shut Down
Never leave the machine unattended with the engi- •
ne running. Always before leaving the operator’s seat
and after making certain all people are clear of the
machine, slowly lower attachments or tools at to the
ground in a positive ground support position. Move
any multipurpose tool or attachment to positive closed
position. Return the controls to hold. Place transmis-
sion control in neutral and move engine controls to off
position. Engage all control locks, set parking brake,
and open and lock the master (key) switch.
Park in a nonoperating and non-trafc area or as ins- •
tructed.
Park on rm level ground if possible. Where not pos- •
sible, position machine at a right angle to the slope,
making sure there is no danger of uncontrolled sliding
movement. Set the parking brake. If parking in trafc
lanes cannot be avoided, provide appropriate ags,
barriers, ares and warning signals in the trafc lane
for approaching trafc.
Never lower attachments or tools from any position •
other than seated in operator’s seat.
