Adjust the Operator's Seat
y A poorly adjusted seat for either the operator or for the work at hand may quickly fatigue the operator leading to misoperations. x The seat should be adjusted whenever changing the operator for the machine. x The operator should be able to fully depress the pedals and to correctly operate the control levers with his back against the seat back. x If not, move the seat forward or backward, and check again. x Adjust the rear view mirror position so that the best rear visibility is obtained from the operator’s seat. If the mirror SA-378 is broken, immediately replace it with a new one.
