GENERAL MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS

Before servicing the machine, be sure the engine is off, the bucket is lowered, the transmission
shift lever is locked in neutral (N), the electrical system master switch is off and the key is removed.
Tag the machine.

Use only approved parts for repairs and maintenance. Failure to do so could compromise personal
safety, machine performance, and reliability.

Before working under the machine, block the tires to prevent machine movement.

It is not possible to anticipate all conceivable ways or conditions under which this machine may be
serviced or to provide precautions for all the possible hazards that may result. Safety is always the
most important rule. Constantly be aware of dangers involved in working on the machine and take
proper precautions. Standard and accepted safety precautions and equipment should be used.

Never attempt to start servicing close to operating fan as it may result in serous injury.

When changing cutting edges, securely support the bucket for your protection.

If the bucket is provided with teeth, use wooden hammer for installation to prevent teeth breakage.
Wear safety goggles.

Lift and handle all heavy parts with lifting devices of adequate capacity. Secure parts with proper
slings and hooks. Use lifting eyes provided. Warn nearby personnel to stand clear.

Keep work area clean and dry. Remove water and oil spills immediately to reduce the chance of
slipping and injury.

Do not pile up oily or greasy rags; they are a fire hazard. Store them in an approved, closed metal
container.

Do not carry loose objects in pockets because they might catch on the machine and result in a fall
or injury.

Use the proper tool for the job. Be sure all tools are in good condition. Do not use tools which are
worn, bent or have mushroomed heads because they can lead to injury.

Do not use the loader bucket or forks to lift personnel or as a work platform.

When service requires access to areas that cannot be reached from the ground or service platform
on the machine, use a ladder or platform of adequate size and capacity.

Never adjust relief valves higher than the specified pressure because this may damage the
machine and lead to injury. When checking pressures, use the correct gauge for the expected
pressure. Consult the Authorized Distributor of Construction Equipment

Jacking up the machine can be hazardous if performed improperly. Use jacking equipment with
sufficient capacity. Be sure the jacking points are strong enough for the expected load. Be sure the
supports for the jacks are stable. Before jacking up the machine, block the tires on the opposite
side of the machine. Because the rear axle pivots, securely block it in position. Do not run the
engine with the machine on jacks. For your safety, transfer the load to approved blocks before
servicing the machine.

This machine is assembled using high strength fasteners. Replacement fasteners must be of the
same size and strength as the originals.
