prolong the life of the machine. Machine maintenance is your
responsibility.
9.1 Service and Maintenance Safety

•
Follow good shop practices:
• Keep the work area clean and dry.
• Ground electrical outlets and tools.
• Have sufficient light for good visibility.
•
Use tools that are in working condition and correct for the
task. Make sure that you know how to use the tools before
you use them.
•
Only operate the engine in a location that has good air
flow. Engine exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide (an
odorless gas) that can cause asphyxiation.
•
Do not work under equipment unless it is safely supported
with blocks.
•
Do not do service or maintenance work alone. Always have
a minimum of two people in case an emergency situation
occurs.
•
Keep a fire extinguisher and first aid kit available at all
times.
•
When service or maintenance is complete, do the following:
• Replace all guards and shields, and close the covers.
• Torque the fasteners to the correct specifications.
• Make sure that all the electrical, hydraulic, and fuel
connections are connected in a safe working condition.
•
Do not use gasoline or diesel fuel to clean parts. Use the
correct cleaning product.
•
When replacement parts are necessary, use genuine
factory replacement parts to restore your machine to
the original specifications. The manufacturer cannot be
responsible for injuries or damages caused by use of
unapproved parts and/or accessories.
