Safety Decals
The safety decals located on this machine contain
useful and important information which will help you to
operate your machine safely. The complete decal kit
and location of each decal is given in the '
Parts
'
section of this manual. For your protection, familiarize
yourself with each label until you completely understand
the warning intended. Do not violate any such warnings!
Keep all decals in place and in good condition:
1. Use soap and water to keep decals clean. DO
NOT use mineral spirits, abrasive cleaners or
other similar cleaners which will damage the
decals.
2. Replace any damaged or missing decals.
Before attaching decals, the surface tempera-
ture of the metal must be at least 40 degrees.
The metal should also be clean and dry before
attaching the decal.
3. If a machine component to which a decal is
attached is replaced, be sure to replace the
decal as well.
4. Replacement decals may be purchased from
RAYCO
®
or your
RAYCO
®
dealer.
3. The start key switch should be in the OFF
position and engine and all moveable parts at
rest.
4. The engine start key should be removed and in
safekeeping.
5. Periodically check the machine for missing,
loose or worn bolts, cracked hoses, and loose
connections. The cutting wheel should be
checked closely for worn or broken teeth, loose
pocket bolts, and cracked pockets.
6. Leaking hydraulic fluid that is under high
pressure may escape visual detection and may
have enough force to penetrate the skin
surface. Always use a piece of cardboard or
wood to detect leaks. See '
General Hazard
Information
- Fluid Penetration' in this
'
Safety
' section for more details.
7. Always relieve the pressure in the hydraulic
system before loosening line connections or
working on the system by pressing and releas-
ing each of the hydraulic control valve levers,
with engine OFF. Always loosen fittings slowly
or "crack" them open to relieve any residual
pressure. Before the system is repressurized,
check connections for tightness and hoses for
serviceable condition.
8. When removing fuel cap, unscrew slowly, and
hold firmly. The cap may otherwise be thrown
due to pressure buildup caused by increase in
temperature.
9. Replacement parts which are authorized by
RAYCO
®
are the only parts which should be
used for repair or replacement.

3. Fully close the cutting wheel cross travel control
valve.
