SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Make sure that all persons are in a safe position
before starting the engine, or operating ANY of the
controls.
• Always stop the engine before leaving the operator's
platform.
• Wait for all moving parts to stop COMPLETELY
before starting any work on the tractor.
• Before starting service procedures, attached
equipment should be resting on the ground and all
hydraulic control levers operated back and forth
several times with engine stopped.
• If it becomes necessary to go under raised
attachment (i.e.: to perform adjustments, etc.), safety
stands must be used to support the attachment.
• Make sure the battery ground cable is disconnected
before working on or near the electrical system of
electrical system components.
• Keep hands, feet and clothing a safe distance away
from moving belts, pulleys and other moving parts.
Make sure all safety shields are installed.
• Be extra careful when performing any checks,
inspections, adjustments or tests that require
operating the engine, the hydraulic controls, OR with
the machine in motion.
• Make sure dependable jacks of adequate lifting
capacity AND suitable stands (or wooden blocking)
are used to securely block up the machine when
removing any of the wheels or axles.
• Before any attempt is made to disconnect or remove
any hydraulic component, make sure the hydraulic
pressure within the system is relieved and the engine
is stopped.
• Carry out the repair procedures in a "common sense"
manner. Safety procedures cannot be
overemphasized when working on, or around
machinery, especially when working on engine driven
and /or hydraulically actuated equipment.
• Safety also depends upon the skill of the serviceman
in the use of tools and other shop equipment while
performing the recommended service procedures.
• Exercise extreme caution when testing hydraulic or
fuel system components as fluid ejected under high
pressure can easily penetrate skin causing serious
infection.
• When it is necessary to remove hoods, shields,
ROPS, etc. to conduct repair operation, all items
must be reinstalled to unit and secured in original
fashion.
• Do not bend, drill holes, or weld on the ROPS
structure, if the ROPS is damaged in any way it must
be replaced.
• Personal injury may result if these precautions are
not followed.
• Look for this symbol to point out important safety
precautions. It means: ATTENTION! BECOME
ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED.
