Wheel Loader Safety
USE CORRECT REPLACEMENT FASTENERS TIGHTENED TO PROPER TORQUE
Refer to "General Maintenance" section of Shop Manual for information on tightening torques and
recommended assembly compounds and always use correct part.
Poor or incorrect fastener connections can dangerously weaken assemblies.
SAFETY-CRITICAL PARTS MUST BE REPLACED PERIODICALLY
Replace following fire-related components as soon as they begin to show any sign of wear, or at regular
periodic intervals, whether or not deterioration is visible:
• Fuel system flexible hoses, the tank overflow drain hose and the fuel filler cap.
• Hydraulic system hoses, especially the pump outlet lines and front and rear pump branch
hoses.
• Keep mounting brackets and hose and cable routing straps tight. Hose routing should have
gradual bends.
DISPOSE OF ALL PETROLEUM-BASED OILS
AND FLUIDS PROPERLY
Physical contact with used motor oil may pose a
health risk. Wipe oil from your hands promptly
and wash off any remaining residue.
Used motor oil is an environmental contaminant
and may only be disposed of at approved
collection facilities. To prevent pollution of the
environment, always do the following;
• Never dump waste oil in a sewer
system, rivers, etc.
• Always put oil drained from your
machine in containers. Never drain
oil directly onto the ground.
• Obey appropriate laws and
regulations when disposing of
harmful materials such as oil, fuel,
solvent, filters, and batteries.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE AND CONDITION
Maintain tire pressure but do not over inflate. Inspect tires and wheels daily. When inflating tires, follow
procedures in Maintenance Section, which include using an extension to allow you to avoid standing in
front of or over a tire. Do not change a tire unless you have both experience and proper equipment.
