Make the machine safe before you start a
maintenance procedure.
You can complete most of the maintenance
procedures with the lift arm lowered. Unless a
maintenance procedure instructs you differently, you
must lower the lift arm.
If you raise the lift arm to get access for maintenance,
you must install the maintenance strut on the lift arm.
If the cab is to be lifted to get access for
maintenance, you must raise the lift arm and install
the maintenance strut on the lift arm.
Release the hydraulic pressure.
