Safety Information
Personal safety measures
• Brief the staff and the operator before beginning maintenance or repair work. Appoint
someone to supervise the activities.
• Always work in groups of two. Both persons must be trained on the machine—one
person must be seated on the seat and maintain visual contact with the other person.
• Observe the specific safety instructions in the Maintenance section of this Operator's
Manual.
• Always keep a safe distance from all rotating and moving parts, for example, fan
blades, V-belt drives, PTO shaft drives, fans, etc.
• Before starting work on machine parts dangerous to life and limb (bruising, cutting),
always ensure safe guarding/support of these areas.
• Apply special care when working on the fuel system due to the increased danger of fire.
• Engine and muffler system become very hot during operation and require cool-down
time after machine is shut off. Avoid contact with hot parts. Wait for the machine to cool
before touching components.
• Retainer pins can fly out or splinter when struck with force. Avoid striking the pins
during operation, repair, or maintenance.
• Do not use starting fluid (for example, ether), especially in those cases in which a
heater plug (intake air pre-heating) is used at the same time.
Preparing for maintenance and repair work
• Prior to performing repair and maintenance work, always attach a warning label such
as “Repair work—do not start machine!” to the control elements as a precautionary
measure.
• Observe the startup and shutdown procedures set forth in this Operator's Manual. This
applies to any work concerning the operation, conversion or adjustment of the machine
and its safety-oriented devices, or any work related to inspection and maintenance.
• Prior to performing assembly work on the machine, make sure no movable parts will roll
away or start moving.
• Perform maintenance work ONLY if:
• the machine is positioned on firm and level ground
• secured against unintentional movement
• all hydraulically movable attachments and working equipment have been lowered to
the ground
• the engine is switched off
• the starter key has been removed
• Perform maintenance work beneath a raised machine, attachments or additional
equipment ONLY if a safe and secure support has been provided. The use of hydraulic
rams or jacks as the sole method of support does NOT sufficiently secure raised
machines or equipment/attachments!
Performing maintenance and repairs
• Observe the adjustment, maintenance and inspection activities and intervals set forth in
this Operator's Manual, including information on the replacement of parts and partial
equipment. These activities must be performed only by qualified personnel.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal when working on the electric system.
• Do not allow the machine to be serviced, repaired, or test-driven by unauthorized staff.
