SAFETY
Maintenance Precautions
Securely block the machine or
any component that may fall
¡Before performing maintenance or repairs
under the machine, set the bucket against
the ground or in the lowermost position.
¡Securely block the tracks.
¡If you must work beneath the raised
machine or equipment, always use lift arm
stop, jack-stands or other rigid and stable
supports. Never get under the machine
or working equipment if they are not
sufficiently supported. This procedure is
especially important when working on
hydraulic cylinders.
Securely block the raised lift arms
¡If you must work beneath the raised lift
arms, securely engage the lift arm stop.
Never get under the lift arms and bucket if
they are not sufficiently supported.
¡Disconnecting or loosening any hydraulic
line, hose, fitting or component or a parts
failure can cause the lift arms to drop.
¡Service the lift arm stop if damaged or if
parts are missing. Using a damaged lift
arm stop or with missing parts can cause
the lift arms to drop causing injury or death.
Secure the rear door when
opened
Be sure to secure the rear door when
opening it. Do not open the rear door on
slopes or in strong wind.
Cautions on tilting up the ROPS
¡Raising or lowering the ROPS while the
engine is running may cause the machine
to move, and cause serious injury or
death. Lower the working equipment to the
ground and stop the engine before raising
or lowering the ROPS.
¡When the ROPS is tilted up, support it
firmly with the stopper to prevent it from
falling.
Place heavy objects in a stable
position
When removing or installing the bucket or
attachment, place it in a stable position so
that it does not tip over.
