Mirrors provide additional visibility around your machine. Make sure that the mirrors are in proper working condition and that the mirrors are clean. Adjust all mirrors at the beginning of each work period and adjust the mirrors when you change operators.
The appropriate job site organization is also recommended to minimize visible hazards. For more information refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Visibility Information".
Modified Machines or machines that have additional equipment or attachments may influence your visibility.
- Park the machine on a level surface.
- Lower the work tool to the ground.
- Move the hydraulic lockout control to the LOCKED position. For further details on this procedure, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Operator Controls".
- Set the parking brake.
- Adjust rear view mirrors to provide visibility behind the machine at a maximum distance of
30 m (98 ft) from the rear corners of the machine.
