SAFETY
Stop the engine before performing
maintenance
• Avoid lubrication or mechanical
adjustments while the machine is moving
or while the engine is running when the
machine is not moving.
• If maintenance must be performed with the
engine running, always work as a two
person team communicating each other.
· One person must sit in the operator’s
seat so that he/she can immediately stop
the engine when necessary. He/she must
take care not to touch the lever or pedal
unless necessary.
· The one who performs maintenance
must make sure to keep his/her body or
clothing away from the moving part of the
machine.
PRECAUTIONS ON MAINTENANCE
Stay clear of the moving parts
• Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts.
If a hand or tool becomes trapped in the
rotating or moving part, serious injury or
death could result.
• If a tool or other objects is dropped or
inserted in the fan or fan belt, it will be
flown or cut in pieces. Do not drop or insert
anything in the fan or fan belt.
Firmly secure the machine or any
component that may fall
• Before performing maintenance or repairs
under the machine, lower all moveable
working equipment to the ground or in the
lowermost position.
• Chock the tires.
• If you must work beneath the raised
machine or equipment, always use wood
blocks, jack-stands or other rigid and
stable supports. Never get under the
machine or working equipment if they are
not sufficiently supported. This procedure
is especially important when working on
hydraulic cylinders.
