Section A - Safety
ALWAYS check the job site for terrain hazards, obstructions and bystanders!
NEVER by-pass the Starter Key Switch when starting the Engine. ALWAYS use the jump-starting procedure detailed
in the Service chapter!
NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic fluid leaks. Hydraulic fluid is pressurized. Escaping fluid can be invisible
and can penetrate the skin, causing a serious injury! If any fluid is injected into your skin, see a doctor familiar with this
type of injury at once! Injected fluid MUST BE surgically removed by a doctor or gangrene may result!
Do NOT operate the machine where the weight, with all attachments installed, exceeds approved load limits!
Do NOT allow minors or any unqualified personnel to operate or be near the machine unless properly supervised. This
is strictly a single Seat, NO passenger machine!
Do NOT start the Engine or operate any Controls unless properly seated in the Operator’s Seat and ALWAYS wear your
seat belt!
Do NOT operate the machine in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation! Internal combustion engines deplete the
oxygen supply in enclosed spaces and may create a serious hazard unless the oxygen is replaced. This includes the
atmosphere inside the cab when the unit is equipped with an enclosed cab!
Do NOT leave the Operator’s Station with the Moldboard or Attachment raised! ALWAYS lower the Attachment(s) to
the ground, shut off the Engine and engage the Park Brake BEFORE leaving the Operator’s Station!
Do NOT refill the Fuel Tank when the Engine is hot. Allow Engine to cool down BEFORE refilling. A hot Engine can
ignite the fuel if it should spill or splash!
Do NOT smoke while filling the Fuel Tank or working on the fuel or hydraulic systems! Sparks can ignite fumes and/or
fuel!
Do NOT drive too close to a ditch or excavation site. BE SURE that the surrounding ground has adequate strength to
support the combined weight of the machine and Attachments!
ALWAYS be alert for immovable objects such as rocks, tree stumps or roots when blading!
Do NOT remove the Radiator Cap when the Engine reaches operating temperature or becomes overheated. The Engine
Coolant is extremely HOT and is under pressure. Exploding Engine Coolant will cause serious injury. ALWAYS wait
for the Engine to cool down BEFORE removing the Radiator Cap to relieve pressure!
Do NOT loosen or disconnect ANY Hydraulic Lines, Hoses or Fittings without first relieving hydraulic circuit pressure.
Also, be careful NOT to touch any hydraulic components that have been in recent operation. They can be extremely
HOT and can burn you!
Do NOT wear loose or baggy clothing while operating or servicing the machine!
NEVER allow any riders on this machine. NEVER use the machine as a lift for personnel!
MODIFICATIONS, NAMEPLATES, MARKINGS, AND CAPACITIES
Modifications and additions which affect the capacity or safe operation shall NOT be performed without the
manufacturer’s prior written approval. Where such authorization is granted, tags or decals shall be changed accordingly.
All attachments MUST be marked to identify the Attachment(s) and show the approximate weight of the machine and
Attachment combination.
