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 optional products that have
not been approved by Takeuchi. Doing so
could cause safety problems. It also
could 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 of a non-
approved optional product.
• 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 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.
• Use the proper procedure when
mounting an attachment; otherwise
serious damage could result. Consult
your sales or service dealer for help.
• When hoisting, be sure to designate a
person to act as a signalman.
Follow the instructions of the signalman
regarding the procedure and measures.
• 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.
