– Shut off the engine of the traction unit and
remove the key.

performing maintenance.

Perform only those maintenance instructions
described in this manual. If major repairs are
ever needed or assistance is desired, contact an
authorized Bullseye distributor.
•
Ensure that the machine is in safe operating
condition by keeping nuts, bolts, and screws tight.
•
If possible, do not perform maintenance while the
engine is running. Keep away from moving parts.
•
Carefully release pressure from components with
stored energy.
•
Support the machine with blocks or storage stands
when working beneath it. Never rely on the
hydraulic system to support the machine.

Never crawl under the attachment. If necessary,
tilt the attachment.
•
Ensure that all guards are installed and secured
after maintaining or adjusting the machine.
