What action should be taken regarding loose items in the cab before tilting it?

Securing all loose items in the cab before tilting it is essential for safety and operational efficiency. When the cab is tilted, any unsecured items can become projectiles, which pose a risk to anyone nearby and can cause damage to the equipment or the cab itself. By securing loose items, you minimize these hazards, ensuring that the work environment is safe for operators and other personnel.

Additionally, taking the time to secure these items reflects a commitment to proper maintenance and safety protocols, which are critical in operating heavy machinery. This practice is part of a broader strategy of maintaining an organized and safe work area, which helps prevent accidents and injuries. Ensuring that items are secure also contributes to smoother operation during the tilting process and reduces downtime caused by retrieving or replacing lost or damaged items.
