Always use good judgement, care and common sense. Be sure the work method, procedure and equipment
you choose are safe for you and other persons.
● Be sure all doors, guards or shields removed to perform service are correctly installed before operating or
releasing the machine for use.
● Never use fuel, gasoline, naptha or other volatile fluids for cleaning purposes. Use only approved cleaning
solvents for cleaning.
● Never run the engine in a closed building. Proper ventilation is required under all circumstances.
● Keep shop floors clean. Wipe up fluid spills immediately to prevent falls and possible injury.
● Periodically inspect all lifting fixtures, chains and slings for damage. Never exceed the load rating of lifting
fixtures, chains and slings.
● DO NOT use the machine stabilizers to lift and support the machine to perform service of any kind. Use only
adequate jacks for lifting, and blocking or jack stands for support. NEVER rely on jacks alone to support the
machine.
● Always wear appropriate personal safety gear as required by working conditions and regulations. DO NOT
wear loose or baggy clothing while performing maintenance or service on the machine.
● Protect your eyes! Always wear safety glasses with side shields or a full face shield when searching for
hydraulic leaks, grinding, striking metal against metal or when working near batteries.
● NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic fluid leaks. Use a piece of paper or cardboard. Escaping fluid
under pressure can be invisible and can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. If any fluid is injected into
your skin, seek medical attention at once. Injected fluid must be surgically removed by a doctor familiar with this
type of injury or gangrene may result.
● If any safety decals are missing, damaged or painted over, replace the decal. If parts are replaced that have
safety decals, be sure to install a new decal.
● To prevent unexpected movement, securely block working elements when repairing or changing working tool
parts such as cutting edges.
● Use extreme caution when removing radiator caps, drain plugs, grease fitting or pressure taps. Park the
machine and let it cool down before opening a pressurized compartment.
● When inflating tires, use a self-attaching inflation chuck with remote shutoff and stand clear of the tire.
● When necessary to tow the machine, do not exceed the recommended towing speed. Be sure the towing
machine has sufficient braking capacity to stop the towed load. If the towed machine cannot be braked, a tow
bar must be used or two towing machines must be used - one in front pulling and one in the rear to retard.
Avoid towing over long distances.
● Whenever servicing or replacing hardened pins, etc. use a brass drift or other suitable material between the
hammer and pin.
