Maintenance
CAUTION
Raising the machine for service or
maintenance relying solely on mechanical
or hydraulic jacks could be dangerous. The
mechanical or hydraulic jacks may not be
enough support or may malfunction allowing
the machine to fall, which could cause injury.
Do not rely solely on mechanical or hydraulic
jacks for support. Use adequate jack stands
or equivalent support.
•
Carefully release pressure from components with
stored energy.
•
Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
If possible, Do Not make adjustments with the
engine running. If the maintenance or adjustment
procedure require the engine to be running and
components moving, use extreme caution.
WARNING
Contact with moving parts or hot surfaces
may cause personal injury.
Keep your fingers, hands, and clothing clear
of rotating components and hot surfaces.
