SAFETY
Maintenance Precautions
Securely block the machine or any
component that may fall
�
Before performing maintenance or
repairs under the machine, set all working
equipment against the ground or in the
lowermost position.
�
Securely block 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.
Securely block the working
equipment
To prevent unexpected movement, securely
block the working equipment when repairing
or replacing the cutting edges or bucket
teeth.
Secure the engine hood or cover
when opened
Be sure to secure the engine hood or cover
when opening it. Do not open the engine hood
or cover on slopes or in strong wind.
Cautions on working on the
machine
�
When performing maintenance on the
machine, clean up the foot area and strictly
observe the following so as not to fall:
• Do not spill oil or grease.
• Do not leave tools laying around.
• When walking, watch your step.
�
Never jump off the machine. Use the steps
and handrails when climbing on and off the
machine, and always support your body at
three points with your hands and feet.
�
Use protective equipment as required by
job conditions.
Place heavy objects in a stable
position
When removing or installing the hoe
attachment, place it in a stable position so
that it does not tip over.
