3.11 Maintenance Warnings
Maintenance, lubrication and repair of this machine can be dangerous unless performed
properly. You must have the necessary skills and information, proper tools and equip-
ment. Work in a method that is safe, correct, and meets your company’s requirements.
• Do not attempt to make adjustments, or perform maintenance or service unless you
are authorized and qualified to do so.
• Include attachments in a scheduled maintenance and inspection program. Tailor
inspection steps to the attachment.
• Unless specified in service procedures, never attempt maintenance or lubrication
procedures while the machine is moving or the engine is running.
• Always perform all maintenance and lubrication procedures with the machine on level
ground, parked away from traffic lanes.
Notice
Local laws and regulations may require that additional
safety measures be taken.
• Never rely on the hydraulic system to support any part of the machine during main-
tenance or lubrication. Never stand under a component that is supported only by the
hydraulics. Make sure it is resting on its mechanical stops or appropriate safety stands.
• Use caution when working around hot fluids. Always allow lubricating and hydraulic
oils to cool before draining. Burns can be severe.
• Use extreme caution when using compressed air to blow parts dry. The pressure
should not exceed 30 psi (208 kPa) at the nozzle. Never use compressed air on
yourself. Air pressure penetrating your skin can be fatal.
WARNING
Suffocation hazard.
Engine exhaust fumes can cause death.
Remove the exhaust fumes from the area with an exhaust
pipe extension, or use ventilation fans and open shop
doors to provide adequate ventilation.
