OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL STE35SR
Work under the machine
If it is necessary to go under the work equipment or the machine to carry out service and
maintenance, support the work equipment and
machine securely with blocks and stands
strong enough to support the weight of the
work equipment and machine.
It is extremely dangerous to work under the
machine if the track shoes are lifted off the
ground and the machine is supported only with
the work equipment. If any of the control levers
is touched by accident, or there is damage
occurring to the hydraulic piping, the work
equipment or the machine will suddenly drop.
This is extremely dangerous. Never work under the work equipment or the machine.
Noise
When carrying out maintenance of the engine and you are exposed to noise for long periods of
time, wear ear covers or ear plugs while working. If the noise from the machine is too loud, it may
cause temporary or permanent hearing problems.
hammer
When using a hammer, pins may fly out or metal particles may be scattered. This may lead to
serious injury. Always do as follows.
If you use a hammer to hit hard metal parts, such as pins, bucket teeth, cutting edges or
bearings, there will be fragments scattered and
will cause a serious personal accident. Be sure
to wear protective equipment such as goggles
and gloves.
When knocking on the pin or bucket teeth, there
may be a danger of fragments flying out, which
may cause injury to people in the surrounding
area. Make sure that there are no people in the
surrounding area.
If you strike the pin with a strong force, there
may be a danger of the pin flying out, which
may cause injury to people in the surrounding area.
Welding works
Welding operations must always be carried out by a qualified welder and in a place equipped with
proper equipment. There is a hazard of gas, fire, or electrocution when carrying out welding, so
never allow any unqualified personnel to carry out welding.
Removing battery terminals
When repairing the electrical system or when carrying out electrical welding, remove the negative
(-) terminal of the battery to prevent the flow of current.
Safety first when using high-pressure grease to
adjust track tension
Grease is pumped into the track tension
adjustment system under high pressure. If the
specified procedure for maintenance is not
followed when making adjustment, grease
drain plug (1) may fly out and cause serious
injury or property damage.
