WARN OTHERS OF SERVICE WORK
Unexpected machine movement can cause serious
injury.
- Before performing any work on the machine,
attach a maintenance in progress tag (see also
SAFETY DECALS in this Chapter) . This tag can
be applied o the left-hand control lever, safety
lever or cab door.
SUPPORT MACHINE PROPERLY
Never attempt to work on the machine without se-
curing the machine first.
- Always lower the attachment or tool to the
ground before working on the machine.
- If you must work on a lifted machine or
attachment, securely support the machine or
attachment.
- Do not support the machine on cinder blocks,
hollow tires, or props that may crumble under
continuous load.
- Do not work under a machine that is supported
solely by a jack.
STOP THE ENGINE PRIOR TO PERFORMING
Do not perform any maintenance operation with the
engine running. Trapping by moving parts could
cause serious injuries. Stop the engine and wait that
it cools-off prior to performing maintenance opera-
tions.
In case it is indispensable to perform maintenance
operations with the engine running, have a person
co-operating with you sitting in the operator's seat,
to cut-off the engine immediately in case of necessi-
ty.
