All seated operator machines are well equipped with a seatbelt. It is very important that you wear a seatbelt while operating equipment, as all mobile equipment can tip over.
While operating equipment, keep bystanders and other workers at least six feet (1.8 m) away from the reach of equipment. Stop the machine if anyone gets too close.
Wear appropriate protective equipment such as safety glasses, earplugs, a hard hat, gloves, and steel-toed boots.
Always heed the messages indicated by the alerts on your equipment. Your first priority is your safety and the safety of those around you. For operator's manuals and safety videos, visit ditchwitch.com.
