SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
Do not clean or lubricate the machine subassemblies while the engine is operating. The parts in
motion when contacted can cause personal injury.
Use a non-toxic, nonflammable commercial solvent for cleaning parts, unless otherwise specified.
Never use gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene or other flammable solvents for cleaning 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 blade and ripper before making hydraulic adjustments. To prevent personal injury, be sure
no personnel are standing in the way of the blade and/or ripper when it is being lowered.
Never allow anyone to walk under or be near unblocked raised equipment.
Provide proper ventilation when operating in a closed building to avoid danger of exhaust gases.
Exhaust gases are dangerous and can cause unconsciousness and death.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure from a very small hole can be almost invisible, yet have
sufficient force to penetrate the skin. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for suspected
leaks. Do not use hands. If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or
reaction can occur if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
When welding, wear proper protective equipment such as a helmet, dark safety glasses, protective
glasses near welding. DO NOT look at the arc without proper eye protection.
Wear proper protective equipment such as goggles or safety glasses with side shields, hard hat,
safety shoes and heavy gloves when metal or other particles are apt to fly or fall.
Lift and handle all heavy parts with a lifting device of proper capacity. Be sure parts are secured by
proper slings and hooks. Use lifting eyes if provided. Warn people in the area to stand clear.
Do not attempt to repair the ROPS protective structure after an accident. Repaired structures do
not provide the original strength and protection. Contact your distributor for information on structure
replacement. Do not cut, drill, weld, grind the ROPS protective structure as all these operations
have a detrimental effect on its structure and safety.
When using compressed air for cleaning parts, wear goggles or safety glasses with side shields.
Use an air nozzle, which limits the pressure to 200 [kPa].
Do not use an open flame to check for leaks or fluid levels anywhere around the machine.
Keep work area clean and dry. Remove oil and water spills immediately.
Do not pile up oily or greasy rags. They are a fire hazard. Store them in an approved, closed metal
container.
Use a soft iron or nonferrous hammer to install or remove ripper point. It is dangerous to hammer
on the point. Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles to reduce the chances of injury.
