MAINTENANCE
When service or maintenance requires access to areas that cannot be reached from the ground,
use a ladder or platform. If such ladders or platforms are not available, use the machine hand
holds and steps provided. Perform all service or maintenance carefully.
Use only approved parts for repairs and maintenance shown in your parts catalog. Failure to do so
could compromise your personal safety and machine performance and reliability.
Never align holes with fingers or hands. Use a proper aligning tool.
Be sure all tools are in good condition. Do not use tools which are worn, bent or have
mushroomed heads. Use the proper tool for the job. Remove sharp edges and burrs from
reworked parts.
For field service, move machine to level ground if possible and block the tracks. If work is
absolutely necessary on an incline, block the machine and its attachments securely. Move the
machine to level ground as soon as possible.
Before working on a machine, turn OFF the electric system master switch and take the key out so
no one will start it unexpectedly.
Do not carry loose objects in your pockets that might catch on the machine or fall unnoticed into
open compartments.
Before working on any part of the engine or electric system, disconnect the battery ground cable.
Tag the cable and all controls to alert personnel that work is in progress.
When it is necessary to make any checks or adjustments with the engine operating, always use
two people. One trained person must be in the operator's seat to safeguard the second person
making checks or adjustments.
As an additional precaution, when making checks or adjustments with the engine operating, make
sure the transmission shift lever is locked in neutral (N), and the parking brake is locked.
Never stand on the tracks or near the blade while the engine is operating.
If the engine is running and the side doors are open or removed be careful of rotating parts such
as the fan and belts that can cause serious injury.
Never operate the engine when cleaning or lubricating the machine. Serious injury could result
from contacting moving parts.
Use a non-toxic, nonflammable commercial solvent for cleaning parts. Never use gasoline, diesel
fuel, kerosene or other flammable solvents for cleaning a part.
Excessive or repeated skin contact with sealant or solvents may cause skin irritation. In case of
skin contact, remove sealant or solvent promptly by washing with soap and water. Follow the
manufacturer’s advice whenever cleaning agents or other chemicals are used.
Lower the blade and/or the ripper before making hydraulic adjustments. To prevent personal
injury, be sure the personnel are standing out of the way of the blade when it is being lowered.
Never allow anyone to walk under or be near unblocked raised equipment.
