BASIC MAINTENANCE

PERFORMING MAINTENANCE

Lower and detach the skid steer saw from your skid steer 
when performing any type of maintenance work. Slippage on 
attachments may occur. Always place unit on sturdy blocks or 
servicing stands when replacing the cutting disc. Do not use 
wheel supports which rotate and may cause heavy material to 
fall upon the maintenance worker.

PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE

Always work in a clean and dry environment. Never work 
on a running machine or with a machine with moving parts. 
Disengage unit from skid steer; make sure machine is off, 
brake is engaged, and remove key. Lower skid steer saw to the 
ground, or place it upon service stands or blocks. Allow the skid 
steer saw to cool off before maintaining. Caution, parts may 
be hot, sharp, or hazardous. Follow guidelines on protective 
equipment and clothing. 
*If you are not a licensed welder or hydraulic specialist call your 
Turbo Saw dealer for maintenance assistance.

Beware of toxic fumes when maintaining your skid steer 

saw. Weld, smolder, or torch in a well ventilated area. Metal, 

paint, and other materials can be toxic when heated. Please 

be mindful of your chemical environment and wear the 

proper equipment when maintaining your skid steer saw such 

as a breathing mask and/or welders mask.
