These general operator precautions apply to off-road work machines as defined in SAE J1116, JUN85, Categories one, two, four and five and agricultural tractors in Category three. These should not be considered as all inclusive for all specific uses and unique features of each particular machine. Other more specific operator precautions not mentioned herein should be covered by users of this recommended practice for each particular machine application.
Rationale
The intent of this 5-year review is to update J153, Safety Considerations for the Operator by modifying and expanding its content in keeping with today's broader activities, machine changes, operating conditions and changing safety standards effected since this recommended practice was approved in 1970.
It is proposed that the title be changed to "Operator Precautions" in place of "Safety Considerations" to comply with SAE J1 159 AUG79 "Preparation of SAE Technical Documents", paragraph 6.7.5.

SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
