SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never operate the engine of the vehicle in a closed building. The
exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.
Before working on this machine, drive to a level area, relieve hydraulic pressure, lower implement (or if work-
ing underneath, raise and block securely), shut off the engine, set the brakes, and remove the ignition keys.
Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance.
Never work under equipment unless it is blocked securely. Never depend on hydraulic system to keep
implement in raised position.
Always use personal protection devices such as eye, hand and hearing protectors, when performing any
service or maintenance.
Never use your hands to locate a hydraulic leak on attachments. Use a small piece of cardboard or wood.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin.
Openings in the skin and minor cuts are susceptible to infection from hydraulic fluid. If injured by escaping
hydraulic fluid, see a doctor at once. Gangrene and death can result. Without immediate medical treatment,
serious infection and reactions can occur.

moving the grader blade attachment
