Rotating Parts
WARNING! Prevent death or serious injury from
entanglement. Do not wear loose clothing
or accessories. Stay away from all rotating
components when the engine is running. Contact,
wrapping or entanglement with rotating or moving parts
could result in death or serious injury.
Wear a rubber apron and rubber gloves when working
with corrosives. Wear gloves and safety shoes when
handling wooden blocks or sharp-edged metal.
Always use safety glasses, goggles or a face shield.
They provide eye protection from uids under pressure,
while grinding and servicing batteries. Protection is
also needed from ying debris, liquids and loose
material produced by equipment, tools and
pressurized air/water.
Wear a face shield when you disassemble spring-
loaded components or work with battery acids. Wear
a welding helmet or goggles with a shaded lter when
you weld or cut with a torch.
Do not sand, grind, ame-cut, braze or weld without a
NIOSH-approved respirator or appropriate ventilation.
If welding is required on this machine, refer to the
manufacturer’s manuals or consult your equipment
dealer for proper procedures.
Keep pockets free of all objects that could fall out—and
drop into machinery.
Handle tools and heavy parts sensibly—with regard
for yourself and other persons. Lower items—don’t
drop them.

Prepare the Work Area
— Position the compact tool carrier in a level area out of
the way of other working equipment.
— Make sure there is adequate light, ventilation and
clearance.
— Remove oil, grease or water to eliminate any slippery
surfaces.
— Clean around the area to be serviced to minimize
contamination.
Prepare the Machine
— Attach a “DO NOT OPERATE” warning tag to the
control levers and remove the ignition key if the
compact tool carrier should not be started.
— Install the approved lift arm support device(s) when
working under or near raised lift arms. Remove
attachment before raising lift arms and before
installing support device(s).
WARNING! Disconnecting or loosening any hydraulic
tubeline, hose, tting, component or a part failure
can cause unsupported lift arms to drop. Do not go
under lift arms when raised unless supported by an
approved lift arm support device(s). Death or serious
crushing injury could result from falling lift arms.
— Remove only guards or covers that provide access
to the area being serviced. Replace all guards and
covers when work is complete.
