STOP ENGINE BEFORE CARRYING OUT INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
If you are caught or pinched between the work equipment during operation, or exposed to high-temperature or
high-pressure liquids, it is dangerous and may cause serious personal injury or death. Always observe the fol-
lowing.
• Lower the work equipment completely to the ground and
stop the engine before performing any inspection and
maintenance.
• Turn the starting switch to ON position, set work equip-
ment lock lever (2) to FREE position (F), operate the blade
control lever to RAISE and LOWER position a few times
repeatedly to release the remaining pressure in the hy-
draulic circuit, then set parking brake lever (1) and work
equipment lock lever (2) to LOCK position (L).
• Check that the battery relay is off and main power is not
conducted. (After turning the starting switch to OFF posi-
tion, wait for approximately 1 minute and press the horn
switch. If the horn does not sound, power is not conduct-
ed.)
• Block the tracks from movement.
