Read ths manual completely before operatng: follow all safety nstructons.
When completing a maintenance or service function, make sure all safety shields
and devices are installed before placing the unit back in service.
Remove hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance. Block the implement
securely, disengage the PTO, and turn off the engine.
Never use your hands or any part of your body to locate a hydraulic leak. Use a
piece of cardboard or wood to pass along the hydraulic line and determine the loca-
tion of any leak. Wear protective gloves and glasses. Hydraulic fluid escaping under
pressure can penetrate the skin. Openings in the skin and minor cuts are suscep-
tible to infection from hydraulic fluid. If injured by escaping hydraulic fluid, see a
doctor at once. Gangrene and death can result. Without immediate medical treat-
ment, serious infection and reactions can occur.
When disconnecting hydraulic lines, shut off supply: relieve all hydraulic pressure.
Before pressurizing system, inspect all components. Make sure fittings are tight and
lines are not worn, kinked or damaged.
After servicing, be sure all tools, parts and service equipment are removed.
Do not allow grease or oil build up on any deck or platform.
Never replace hex bolts with less than grade 5 bolts unless otherwise specified, i.e.
shear bolts. Refer to bolt torque chart for head identification markings.
Where replacement parts are necessary for periodic maintenance and servicing, gen-
uine factory replacement parts must be used to restore your equipment to original
specifications. The manufacturer will not claim responsibility for use of unapproved
parts and/or accessories and other damages as a result of their use.
If equipment has been altered in any way from the original design, the manufac-
turer does not accept any liability for injury or warranty.
A fire extinguisher and first aid kit should be kept readily accessible while perform-
ing maintenance on this or any equipment.
