SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When removing or installing an
attachment or optional part, take the
following precautions.
• Consult with Takeuchi before installing
an optional attachment.
• Do not use any attachments not
approved by Takeuchi. Doing so may
cause safety problems. Or, it may
adversely affect the machine’s operation
or service life.
• We will not be held responsible for any
injuries, accidents or damage to its
products caused by the use by a non-
approved attachment.
• Select a firm, level work area. Also, be
sure to park in a well ventilated place.
• Clear obstacles and dangerous objects,
and clean up spilled fuel immediately.
• When hoisting, be sure to designate a
person to act as a signalman.
Follow the instructions of the signalman
regarding the procedure and measures.
• When it is necessary to temporally
place a heavy object or an attachment
on the ground during removal or
installation, be sure to place it in a
stable position.
• Keep everyone out of the area when
hoisting. There is a hazard of objects
falling or contacting with people in the
area.
• Use a crane to move heavy objects (25
kg (55 lb.) or greater).
• Before removing a heavy object, be sure
to put a support to it. When lifting with a
crane, pay attention to the center of
gravity of the load to keep the machine
in balance.
• Do not operate the machine while the
load is lifted by a crane stand.

CAUTIONS WHEN INSTALLING
ATTACHMENTS
Be sure to perform a test operation after an
optional or other special attachment has
been replaced. Inspect the hydraulic oil level
and recharge it as necessary. Consult your
sales or service dealer for detailed
procedures on installing/removing
attachments.
• Use the proper procedure when
mounting a boom or arm; otherwise
serious damage could result. Consult
your sales or service dealer for help.
