CAUTION
1. If you have not already done so,
determine which components require
maintenance. Place all machine
mechanical systems and/or workheads
in the full up and locked positions.
2. When mechanically locking up
equipment is not feasible for
maintenance, lower the component to
the ground prior to working on the
equipment.
