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.
