11. Always disconnect the positive battery cable when working on the engine or under the hood.
12. If electrolyte is spilled, always wash your hands or clothing immediately.
13. Do not touch the engine, exhaust or hydraulic components when they are hot as serious burns may result.
14. Do not smoke near the battery. Fumes from charging electrolyte are explosive. Always keep the battery away
from sparks, flame and smoking materials.
15. Always remove metal bracelets, watch bands, etc. prior to installing, removing or servicing the battery.
16. Do not short circuit the battery terminals.
17. When connecting the battery, the positive terminal must always be connected first to prevent sparks from
accidental grounding.
18. Do not replace the throttle return springs with lighter or other springs.
19. Check all lights.
20. Check the horn operation.
21. Check that the neutral start switch is set and working correctly.
22. Check tire and wheel condition along with proper inflation pressures. Unless beads are seated when mounting
tires, over-inflation can result in explosion.
23. Torque all lug nuts to 130 ft-lbs. Check the torque again after 5 hours of operation.
24. Always safely use proper lifting equipment when removing or replacing heavy components.
25. When working underneath the loader, make sure it is supported properly on secure jack stands. Do not rely on
hydraulic jacks to support the loader.
26. If the loader is on a hydraulic or air operated lift, always make sure the safety support or lock is in position prior
to working under the loader.
27. Always use a proper transmission jack, and secure the transmission when removing or replacing it.

32. Do not use the battery in this unit to start other vehicles.
33. Do not attempt to install or adjust control cables with the engine running.
34. Always replace a control cable which exhibits any gradual or sudden increase in no-load friction or resistance
or decrease in usable stroke, or which have moisture inside or have been frozen.
35. Do not use heat to attempt to dry or thaw a control cable.
36. Do not remove the seals from a control cable or attempt to lubricate it. Any control cable which exhibits
possible lubrication problems should be replaced.
37. Do not attempt to repair or modify a control cable. Any damaged control cable should be replaced
immediately.
38. Always avoid exposing control cables to fuels, oils, chemicals, paint, water or dirt as damage may result.
39. Always adjust each control cable so that the utilized stroke of the cable is centered within the cable’s available
stroke.
40. Always deflate a tire and wheel assembly prior to removing it for servicing or dismounting.
41. Do not use wheels or wheel components that are cracked, bent pitted or corroded. Make sure that all wheel
components are of the same type and size, and that wheel size and tire size match. Inspect all components
carefully prior to use.
42. Do not attempt to install a tire by using explosive substance.
43. Do not hammer, pry or weld on or near an inflated or partially inflated wheel and tire assembly.
44. Do not rework, weld, heat or braze any wheel parts for any reason.
45. Always use a safety cage and a clip-on air chuck with a remote valve and pressure gauge when inflating a tire.
Make sure the tire and wheel assembly is properly assembled prior to inflating it. Visually inspect it for proper
seating of beads or sides or lock rings prior to removing it from the cage.
