INTRODUCTION
Support, block, and protect the machine properly
• Do not perform maintenance work on a machine that is
not properly supported.
• Always support the implement on the ground before
starting the maintenance work.
• If it is necessary to perform maintenance on a machine
with the implement raised, make sure to support it
firmly.
• Do not support the machine on bricks, boards or other
material that could collapse under load.
• Do not perform maintenance work on a machine that is
supported solely by a jack.
• Lock the machine components that must be raised for
maintenance using appropriate lifting equipment.
• Always lock all moving components or parts of the ma-
chine that should be lifted for maintenance purposes
using adequate external lifting equipment as required
by local regulations.
• Do not allow anyone to pass or remain near or below a
raised attachment.
NOTE:
Never move or stop the bucket above people or
a cab of another machine or truck.
• When the maintenance to be performed requires ac-
cess to areas that cannot be reached from the ground,
use a ladder or scaffolding.
• Workshop maintenance or field scaffolding should be
manufactured and maintained in accordance with the
safety regulations.
NOTE:
If a ladder or scaffolding are not available, use
the machine handrails and steps.
• Perform any maintenance work with the greatest care
and attention.
• Do not place your head, body, limbs, hands, feet, or
fingers near the articulated cutting edges without the
necessary protection.
• Securely block the machine or any component that may
fall before working on the machine or component. If
possible, also use an auxiliary or backup blocking de-
vice.
NOTE:
To prevent unexpected movement, securely
block the working elements whenever you service or
replace working tool parts such as cutting edges.
