USE CORRECT REPLACEMENT FASTENERS TIGHTENED TO PROPER TORQUE
Refer to "General Maintenance" section of Shop Manual for information on tightening torques and
recommended assembly compounds and always use correct part.
Poor or incorrect fastener connections can dangerously weaken assemblies.
DISPOSE OF ALL PETROLEUM-BASED OILS
AND FLUIDS PROPERLY
Physical contact with used motor oil may pose a
health risk. Wipe oil from your hands promptly
and wash off any remaining residue.
Used motor oil is an environmental contaminant
and may only be disposed of at approved
collection facilities. Never drain any petroleum-
based product on ground or dispose of old oil in
municipal waste collection containers, or in
metropolitan sewer systems or rural landfills.
Check state and local regulations for other
requirements.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE AND CONDITION
Maintain tire pressure but do not over inflate. Inspect tires and wheels daily. When inflating tires, follow
procedures in Maintenance Section, which include using an extension to allow you to avoid standing in
front of or over a tire. Do not change a tire unless you have both experience and proper equipment.
SHIPPING AND TRANSPORTATION
OBEY STATE AND LOCAL OVER-THE-ROAD REGULATIONS
Check state and local restrictions regarding weight, width and length of a load before making any other
preparation for transport.
Hauling vehicle, trailer and load must all be in compliance with local regulations governing intended
shipping route.
Partial disassembly or tear-down of wheel loader may be necessary to meet travel restrictions or particular
conditions at work site. See “Transportation” on page 5-1.
