SAFETY RULES
• Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and secured. Never
place any part of the body underneath equipment or between moveable parts even when the engine has been turned
off. Hydraulic system leak down, hydraulic system failures, mechanical failures, or movement of control levers
can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpectedly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Operator's Manual
instructions for working underneath and blocking requirements or have work done by a qualified dealer.

tools, and safety procedures may be required. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death.
