SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS ON MAINTENANCE
Precautions when working under the
raised lift arms
• If you must work under the raised lift arms,
use the lift arm stopper to securely support
the lift arms. Never position yourself under
the lift arms or bucket if they are not
securely supported.
• Disconnecting or loosening any faulty
hydraulic line, hose, fitting or component or
a parts could cause the lift arms to fall.
• Repair or replace the lift arm stopper if it is
damaged or any part is missing. Failure to
do so may cause the lift arms to fall,
resulting in a serious injury or death.
Secure the rear door or radiator when
opened
Be sure to secure the rear door or radiator
before working the inside. Do not keep the
rear door or radiator open on a windy day or
if the machine is parked on a slope.
Precautions on tilting up the canopy (cab)
• Raising or lowering the canopy while the
engine is running may cause the machine
to move, and cause serious injury or death.
Lower the working equipment to the
ground and stop the engine before raising
or lowering the canopy.
• When the canopy is tilted up, support it
firmly with the stopper pin to prevent it
from falling.
Refer to “Tilting up the canopy (cab)” for
further instructions.
Place heavy objects in a stable position
When it is necessary to temporally place a
heavy object, bucket or an attachment on
the ground during removal or installation, be
sure to place it in a stable position. Keep
unauthorized persons from the storage place
for such object.
