•
Before starting any maintenance operation, position the ma-
chine on firm and level ground, engage the safety locks either
for the equipment and the controls, stop the engine and apply
the parking brake.
•
If another person starts the engine and operates the controls
while the operator is providing for service, this may result in
serious injuries or even death.
•
To avoid these risks, always attach warning plates to the steer-
ing wheel, to the control levers and to the ignition key before
performing any maintenance operation; if necessary, attach
additional warning tags also around the machine and in partic-
ular on the cab door handles.

•
Use only the tools provided with the machine and high-quality
tools suitable for the tasks to be performed.
•
Do not use worn, damaged, low-quality tools or tools that are
not suitable for the tasks to be performed, in order to avoid any
personal injury.
•
After use, carefully clean the tools and put them in the com-
partment obtained inside the seat support. If the operator
plans to keep on the machine some tools whose dimensions
exceed those of the compartment positioned under the seat,
he can store them in an appropriate tool box positioned on the
rear outer part of the cab. See “3.5.11 ADDITIONAL TOOL
BOX (if provided).”
•
Any maintenance operation must be carried out exclusively by authorized and duly trained personnel; specific
and personal protection measures must be adopted when grinding, welding and when using sledges or heavy
hammers.
•
When assemblying the equipment or cylinder connection pins, use wooden, plastic or in any case not exces-
sively hard tools to check the centering of the holes.
Do not use your fingers, since you run the risk of cutting them.
