SAFETY MAINTENANCE INFORMATION 2
WARNING TAG
q
Always attach the “DO NOT OPERATE“ warning tag to the
work equipment control lever in the operator's cab to alert
others that you are performing service or maintenance on
the machine. Attach additional warning tags around the
machine if necessary.
Warning tag Part No. 09963-A1640
Keep this warning tag in the tool box while it is not used. If
there is not the tool box, keep the tag in the operation man-
ual pocket.
q
If any other person starts the engine, or touches or oper-
ates the control levers or control pedals while you are per-
forming service or maintenance, you may suffer serious
injury.
KEEP WORK PLACE CLEAN AND TIDY
q
Do not leave hammers or other tools lying around in the work place. Wipe up all grease, oil, or other sub-
stances that will cause you to slip. Always keep the work place clean and tidy to enable you to carry out oper-
ations safely.
If the work place is not kept clean and tidy, there is the danger that you will trip, slip, or fall over and injure your-
self.
q
When cleaning the ceiling window which is made of organic glass (polycarbonate), use tap water and avoid
use of organic solvents for cleaning. An organic solvent like benzene, toluene or methanol can invite a chemi-
cal reaction like dissolution and decomposition on the window glass, deteriorating polycarbonate in use.
APPOINT LEADER WHEN WORKING WITH OTHERS
When repairing the machine or when removing and installing the work equipment, appoint a leader and follow his
instructions during the operation.
