SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
The proper and safe lubrication and maintenance for this machine, recommended by manufacturer, is
outlined in this operator's manual for this machine.
Improper performance of lubrication or maintenance procedures are dangerous and could result in injury
or death. Read and understand this operator's manual before performing any lubrication or maintenance.
The serviceman or mechanic may be unfamiliar with many of the systems on this machine. This
makes it important to use caution when performing service work. Knowledge of the systems and
components is important before removal or disassembly of any component.
Because of the size of some of the machine components, the serviceman or mechanic should check
the weights noted in this manual. Use proper lifting procedures when removing any components.
The following is a list of basic precautions that must always be observed.
1.
Read and understand all Warning plates and labels on the machine before Operating, Maintaining
or Repairing this machine.
2.
Always wear protective glasses and protective shoes when working around machines.
In particular, wear protective glasses when using hammers, punches or drifts on any part of the
machine or attachments. Use welders gloves, hood/goggles, apron and the protective clothing
appropriate to the welding job being performed. Do not wear loose fitting or torn clothing.
Remove all rings from fingers, loose jewelry, confine long hair and loose clothing before working
on this machinery.
3.
Disconnect the battery and hang a "Do Not Operate" tag in the Operator's Compartment. Remove
key from starter key switch.
4.
If possible, make all repairs with the machine parked on a level, hard surface. Block the machine
so it does not roll while working on or under the machine. Hang a "Do Not Operate" tag in the
Operator's Compartment.
5.
Do not work on any machine that is supported only by lift, jacks or a hoist. Always use blocks
or jack stands, capable of supporting the machine, before performing any disassembly.
6.
Relieve all pressure in air, oil or water systems before any lines, fittings or related items are
disconnected or removed. Always make sure all raised components are blocked correctly and be
alert for possible pressure when disconnecting any device from a system that utilizes pressure.
7.
Lower the bucket, blade (if equipped), or other attachments to the ground before performing any
work on the machine. If this cannot be done, make sure the bucket, blade (if equipped) or other
attachment is blocked correctly to prevent it from dropping unexpectedly.
8.
Use steps and grab handles when mounting or dismounting a machine. Clean any mud, grease,
oil or debris from steps, walkways or work platforms before using. Always face the machine when
using steps, ladders and walkways. When it is not possible to use the designed access system,
provide ladders, scaffolds, or work, platforms to perform safe repair operations.
9.
Avoid back injury. Use a hoist when lifting components which weigh 23 kg (50 lb) or more. Make
sure all chains, hooks, slings, etc., are in good condition and are the correct capacity. Be sure
hooks are positioned correctly. Lifting eyes are not to be side loaded during a lifting operation.
10. To avoid burns, be alert for hot parts and surfaces immediately after stopping the machine such
as hot fluids in lines, tubes and compartment covers.
11. Be careful when removing cover plates. Gradually back off the last two bolts or nuts located at
opposite ends of the cover or device and carefully pry cover loose to relieve any spring or other
pressure, before removing the last two bolts or nuts completely.
