INTRODUCTION
Maintenance with the engine in operation
• Do not perform any maintenance operation with the en-
gine running.
• Contact with moving parts can cause serious injuries.
• Stop the engine and wait for it to cool off prior to per-
forming maintenance operations.
NOTE:
If the engine must be on to make certain adjust-
ments, first place the transmission into neutral. Apply the
parking brake. Place the implement in a safe position.

Support cradles
• Do not use the control levers or hydraulic hoses as sup-
ports.
• The hydraulic hoses and the control levers are movable
parts. The hydraulic hoses and the control levers do not
provide solid support. Also, the control levers can be
moved inadvertently and cause unexpected movement
of the machine or its attachments.
• Do not jump on or off the machine. Always maintain at
least three points of support between the steps and the
handrails.
• Always keep the operator’s compartment, steps,
handrails and control handles clean and clear of foreign
objects, oil, grease, mud or snow to reduce the risk of
slipping or stumbling.
• Remove mud or grease from your shoes before enter-
ing the cab to operate the machine.
