Properlyadjustmachines.Properlymaintainmachines.Operatemachinessmoothly.Maintainthe conditionsoftheterrain.Thefollowingguidelinescanhelpreducethewholebodyvibrationlevel:
1.Usetherighttypeandsizeofmachine,equipment,andattachments.
2.Maintainmachinesaccordingtothemanufacturersrecommendations:tirepressuresand brakeandsteeringsystems,controls,hydraulicsystem,andlinkages.
3.Keeptheterrainingoodconditionbyperformingthefollowingitems:removeanylarge rocksorobstacles,fillanyditchesandholesandprovidemachinesandscheduletimein ordertomaintaintheconditionsoftheterrain.
