MAINTENANCE
REPLACING THE BUCKET
• Before performing maintenance or
repairs under the machine, lower all
working equipment to the ground or in
the lowermost position.
• 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.
• When using a hammer, pins may fly out
or metal particles may be scattered.
This may lead to serious injury.
· If hard metal parts such as pins,
bucket teeth, side cutter or bearings
are hit with a hammer, wear protective
gear such as safety goggles and
gloves.
· When hitting pins or bucket teeth,
always check that there is no one in
the surrounding area.
• When aligning the pin holes, always do
so by checking them visually. Do not
insert your finger in the pin hole, or you
could lose your finger.
WHEN REQUIRED
1. Lower the bucket to the ground as shown
on the figure above in a stable position.
Note: When removing pins, set the bucket
so that it is barely touching the ground. If the
bucket is firmly touching the ground, the
resistance will be great and it will be difficult
to remove the pin.
2. Set the safety lock lever to the locked
position and stop the engine.
3. Remove the bolt (1).
4. Hammer the pin (2) out of the bucket.
5. Remove the bucket.
Inspect the pin seal (3) and replace it if it is
deformed or damaged. (See next page.)
