PRECAUTIONS ON MAINTENANCE
Prohibit access by unauthorized persons
AG7A068
Do not allow unauthorized personnel in the
work area while working. Be careful when
grinding, welding or using a hammer. You
could be injured by flying debris from the
machine.
Prepare work area
• Select a firm, level work area. Make sure
there is adequate light and, if indoors,
ventilation.
• Clear obstacles and dangerous objects.
Eliminate slippery areas.
Always keep the machine clean
AG7A070
• Clean the machine before performing
maintenance.
• Stop the engine before washing the
machine. Cover the electrical parts so that
water cannot enter. Water on electrical
parts could cause short-circuits or
malfunctions. Do not use water or steam to
wash the battery, electronic control
components, sensors, connectors or the
operator’s compartment.
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.
