Raised Equipment
Never walk or work under raised equipment unless it
is supported by a mechanical device. Equipment
which is supported only by a hydraulic device can
drop and injure you if the hydraulic system fails or if
the control is operated (even with the engine stopped).
Make sure that no-one goes near the machine while
you install or remove the mechanical device.
