SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
15. Repairs which require welding should be
performed only with the benefit of the
appropriate reference information and by
p e r s o n n e l a d e q u a t e l y t r a i n e d a n d
knowledgeable in welding procedures.
Determine type of metal being welded and
select correct welding procedure and
electrodes, rods or wire to provide a weld
metal strength equivalent at least to that of the
parent metal. Make sure to disconnect battery
before any welding procedures are attempted.
16. Do not damage wiring during removal
operations. Reinstall the wiring so it is not
damaged nor will be damaged in operation of
the machine by contacting sharp corners, or
by rubbing against some object or hot surface.
Do not connect wiring to a line containing fluid.
17. Be sure all protective devices including guards
and shields are properly installed and
functioning correctly before starting a repair. If
a guard or shield must be removed to perform
the repair work, use extra caution and replace
the guard or shield after repair is complete.
18. The maintenance and repair work while
holding the bucket raised is dangerous due to
the possibility of a falling attachment. Don’t fail
to lower the attachment and place the bucket
to the ground before starting the work.
19. Loose or damaged fuel, lubricant and
hydraulic lines, tubes and hoses can cause
fires. Do not bend or strike high pressure lines
or install ones which have been bent or
damaged. Inspect lines, tubes and hoses
carefully. Do not check for leaks with your
hands. Very small (pin hole) leaks can result in
a high velocity oil stream that will be invisible
close to the hose. This oil can penetrate the
skin and cause personal injury. Use cardboard
or paper to locate pin hole leaks.
20. Tighten connections to the correct torque.
Make sure that all heat shields, clamps and
guards are installed correctly to avoid
excessive heat, vibration or rubbing against
other parts during operation. Shields that
protect against oil spray onto hot exhaust
components in event of a line, tube or seal
failure must be installed correctly.
21. Do not operate a machine if any rotating part is
damaged or contacts any other part during
operation. Any high speed rotating component
that has been damaged or altered should be
checked for balance before reusing.
22. Be careful when servicing or separating the
tracks. Chips can fly when removing or
installing a track pin. Wear safety glasses and
long sleeve protective clothing. Tracks can
unroll very quickly when separated. Keep
away from front and rear of machine. The
machine can move unexpectedly when both
tracks are disengaged from the sprockets.
Block the machine to prevent it from moving.
