parts.
Be familiar with all controls and their proper operation. 

2.

penetrate your skin and cause blood poisoning, gangrene, 

or death. Give attention to the following instructions at all 

times:

Do not check for leaks with your hand.

a. 

Do not operate machine with frayed, kinked, 

b. 

cracked, or damaged hoses, fittings, or tubing.
Stop the engine and relieve hydraulic system 

c. 

pressure before changing or adjusting fittings, 

hoses, tubing, or other system components.
Do not adjust the pressure settings of the pump or 

d. 

valve.

Leaks can be detected by passing cardboard or wood, 

10. 

while wearing protective gloves and safety glasses, over 

the suspected area. Look for discoloration of cardboard or 

wood.
If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor immediately. 

11. 

Serious infection or reaction can develop if proper medical 

treatment is not administered immediately.
Keep the operator zone and adjacent area clear for safe, 

12. 

secure footing.
If your machine is equipped with an internal combustion 

13. 

engine and is intended for use near any unimproved forest, 

brush, or grass covered land, the engine exhaust should be 

equipped with a spark arrester. Make sure you comply with 

applicable local, state, and federal codes. Take appropriate 

firefighting equipment with you.
