Designed-In Safety
• The standard hydraulic lockout lever prevents operators from
leaving the cab without first isolating all hydraulic functions.
When necessary, you can activate the ground level shut-off
switch to stop the fuel to the engine and shut down the machine.
• The machine provides you a safe work platform for all routine
service and maintenance needs. Anti-skid plating with countersunk
bolts reduces the potential for slippage and trip hazards.
• A battery disconnect switch helps to deter theft by isolating the
battery and enhances safety when servicing the machine.
• A full-length firewall separates the engine from the hydraulic pump
and offers protection in the event of an incident.
• We designed the cab to provide excellent visibility from the
operator’s seat. In addition, two standard mirrors help keep you
aware of your surroundings.
• The machine can be equipped with a Falling Object Guarding
System (FOGS) guard that conforms to the ISO 10262:1998
standard. These guards are bolted directly to the cab shell.
