Do not operate this machine unless you have
read and understand the instructions in the
OPERATOR’S MANUAL. Improper machine
operation is dangerous and could result in injury
or death.
6. Relieve all pressure in air, oil or water systems
before any lines, fittings or related items are
disconnected or removed. Always make sure
all raised components are blocked correctly
and be alert for possible pressure when
disconnecting any device from a system that
utilizes pressure.
7. Lower the bucket, blade or other attachments
to the ground before performing any work on
the machine. If this cannot be done, make sure
the bucket, blade or other attachment is
blocked correctly to prevent it from dropping
unexpectedly.
8. Use steps and grab handles when mounting or
dismounting a machine. Clean any mud,
grease, oil or debris from steps, walkways or
work platforms before using. Always face the
machine when using steps, ladders and
walkways. When it is not possible to use the
designed access system, provide ladders,
scaffolds, or work platforms to perform safe
repair operations.
9. To avoid back injury, use a hoist when lifting
components which weigh 23 kg (50 lbs) or
more. Make sure all chains, hooks, slings, etc.,
are in good condition and are the correct
capacity. Be sure hooks are positioned
correctly. Lifting eyes are not to be side loaded
during a lifting operation.
10. To avoid burns, be alert for hot parts on
machines which have just been stopped and
hot fluids in lines, tubes and components.
11. Be careful when removing cover plates.
Gradually back off the last two bolts or nuts
located at opposite ends of the cover or device
and carefully pry cover loose to relieve any
spring or other pressure, before removing the
last two bolts or nuts completely.
12. Be careful when removing filler caps,
breathers and plugs on the machine. Hold a
rag over the cap or plug to prevent being
sprayed or splashed by liquids under pressure.
The danger is even greater if the machine has
just been stopped because fluids can be hot.
13. Always use the proper tools that are in good
condition and that are suited for the job at
hand. Be sure you understand how to use
them before performing any service work.
14. Reinstall all fasteners with the same part
number. Do not use a lesser quality fastener if
replacements are necessary.
