INTRODUCTION
Incorrect towing procedures can cause accidents. When you tow a disabled machine follow the procedure in this
manual. Use only rigid tow bars.
Stop the engine, remove the key, and relieve pressure before you connect or disconnect fluid lines.
Stop the engine and remove the key before you connect or disconnect electrical connections.
Scalding can result from incorrect removal of coolant caps. Cooling systems operate under pressure. Hot coolant can
spray out if you remove a cap while the system is hot. Allow the system to cool before you remove the cap. When
you remove the cap, turn it slowly to allow pressure to escape before you completely remove the cap.
Replace damaged or worn tubes, hoses, electrical wiring, etc.
The engine, transmission, exhaust components, and hydraulic lines may become hot during operation. Take care
when you service such components. Allow surfaces to cool before you handle or disconnect hot components. Wear
protective equipment when appropriate.
When welding, follow the instructions in the manual. Always disconnect the battery before you weld on the machine.
Always wash your hands after you handle battery components.
