Reduce the throttle setting during engine
run-out.
Take care when loading or unloading the
machine into a trailer or a truck.
Load or unload the machine in a flat and
safe place.
Before loading or unloading, set the parking
brake on the truck or trailer, stop the engine,
and chock the wheels.
When transporting the machine on a truck or
a trailer, set the parking brake, stop the
engine, and fasten the machine to the truck
with a rope or other suitable restraining
device that has sufficient strength.
When using a running board, select one with
sufficient strength, length, and width and that
will not cause the machine to slip.
Close the fuel valve before transporting the
machine.
Maintenance
Never allow untrained personnel to service
machine.
Implement the following work before
adjusting, cleaning or repairing.
Stop the machine on level ground.
Disengage drive to the mechanical
equipment section.
Lower the brush section and the bucket.
Set the parking brake.
Stop the engine.
Remove the ignition key.
Wait for all movement to stop.
Allow the engine/muffler to cool before
checking/maintenance.
To reduce the fire hazard, keep hot parts
such as the engine and silencer/muffler,
battery compartment and fuel storage area
free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
Clean up oil or fuel spillage.
Appropriately manage and correctly use the
tools necessary for servicing or adjusting the
machine.

Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.
If possible, do not make adjustments with the
engine running.
Make sure that parts such as wires are not
touching each other and that their covers
have not come off.
Keep all parts in good working condition and
all hardware tightened.
Replace all worn or damaged decals.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be
sure the equipment is in safe working
condition.
Carefully release pressure from components
with stored energy.
Be sure to depressurize the hydraulic system
before performing maintenance operations
on it such as removing hydraulic equipment.
Check whether line connectors in the
hydraulic system are properly tightened.
Before applying hydraulic pressure, check
the connections of the hydraulic pressure
lines and the condition of the hoses.
When checking the hydraulic circuit for
pinhole leaks or oil leakage from nozzles, do
not use your hands.
Use items such as paper or corrugated
cardboard to find leakage points.
Be extremely careful with high-pressure oil
as it may pierce your skin, resulting in an
injury.
If fluid is injected into the skin it must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with this form of injury or
gangrene may result.
Charge batteries in an open well ventilated
area, away from spark and flames.
Unplug charger before connecting or
disconnecting from battery.
Wear protective clothing and use insulated
tools.
If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this
outdoors.
Storage
When machine is to be parked, stored, or left
unattended, keep brush section raised and
securely locked while bucket lowered.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
Only cover the machine with a sheet after
hot parts have sufficiently cooled down.
