Perform Maintenance Safely
Maintain Equipment
Be sure to maintain equipment according to
manufacturer’s instructions. Regularly check the
operation of the protective and safety devices.
Do not
perform any work on the compact excavator
unless you are authorized and qualified to do so.
If you have been authorized to maintain the equipment,
read the operator, maintenance and service manuals.
Study the instructions, check the lubrication charts and
examine all the instruction messages on the machine.
Maintenance can be dangerous unless performed
properly. Be sure you have the necessary skill, information,
tools and equipment to do the job correctly.
If adjustments must be made with the engine running,
always work as a 2-person team with one person sitting in
the operator’s seat while the other works on the machine.
IMPORTANT!
Do not
modify equipment or add
components not approved by the manufacturer. Use
parts, lubricants and service techniques recommended
by the manufacturer.
Protect Yourself
Wear personal protective clothing and Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) issued to you or called for
by job conditions.
You may need:
— Hard hat
— Safety boots with non-slip soles
— Safety glasses, goggles or face shield
— Apron and heavy-duty gloves
— Hearing protection
— Welding helmet or goggles
— Respirator or filter mask
Wear whatever is needed to protect yourself—do not
take chances.

Perform Maintenance Safely
WARNING!
Prevent death or serious injury from
entanglement.
Do not wear loose clothing or
accessories. Restrain long hair. Stay away from all
rotating components when the engine is running.
Contact with or entanglement in rotating or moving
parts could result in death or serious injury.
Wear a rubber apron and rubber gloves when working
with corrosives. Wear gloves and safety shoes when
handling wooden blocks, wire rope or sharp-edged
metal.
Always use safety glasses, goggles or a face shield.
They provide eye protection from fluids under pressure,
during grinding and while servicing batteries. Protection
is also needed from flying debris, liquids and loose
material produced by equipment, tools and
pressurized air/water/oil/fuel.
Wear a face shield when you disassemble spring-loaded
components or work with battery acids. Wear a welding
helmet or goggles with a shaded filter when you weld or
cut with a torch.
Do not sand, grind, flame-cut, braze or weld without an
approved respirator or appropriate ventilation. If welding
is required on the machine, refer to the manufacturer’s
manuals or consult the equipment dealer for proper
procedures. Make sure all flammable material is cleared
from the area.
Keep pockets free of all objects that could fall out and
drop into machinery.
Handle tools and heavy parts sensibly, with regard
for yourself and other persons. Lower items—do not
drop them.
