fumes may cause asphyxiation.
Before working underneath, carefully read
Operator’s Manual instructions, raise implement,
securely block up all corners with jack stands, and
check stability. Secure blocking prevents equipment

Make sure implement is properly secured, adjusted,
and in safe operating condition.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the
ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked
and secured. Never place any part of the body
underneath equipment or between moveable
parts even when the engine has been turned off.
Movement of control levers can cause equipment to
drop or rotate unexpectedly and cause severe injury
or death. Follow Operator’s Manual instructions for
working underneath and blocking procedures.
Make certain all movement of equipment
components has stopped before approaching for
service.

be sharp, free of nicks and cracks, and securely
fastened.

Careless or improper handling may result in serious
injury.
Do not allow debris, grease or oil to build up on
wheels and discs.
