14. When inflating tires, use a self attaching
inflation chuck with a remote shut-off and stand
clear of the tire. A tire can explode with great
force.
15. Do not operate the unit with loose wheels or
rims. Check wheel nuts periodically for tightness.
Refer to the Bolt Torque chart at the end of the
Maintenance Section of this manual.
16. Keep brakes and steering systems in good
operating condition.
HYDRAULICS
1. Make sure that all components in the
hydraulic system are kept in good condition and
are clean.
2. Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened
or crimped hoses and metal lines.
3. Do not attempt makeshift repairs using
tape, clamps or cements. The hydraulic system
operates under extremely high pressure. Such
repairs can fail, creating a hazardous condition.
4. Wear proper hand and eye protection when
searching for a high pressure leak. Use a piece of
wood or cardboard as a back
stop to isolate and identify leaks.
Do not use your hands.
Relieve pressure on the system
before doing any repairs or
disconnecting lines, hoses or
valves. Before reapplying pressure to a hydraulic
system, make sure all lines, fittings and couplers
are tight and in good repair.
5. Pressurized hydraulic fluid or oil has
sufficient force to penetrate the skin. Serious
infection or toxic reaction
can develop from hydraulic
fluid piercing the skin. If
injured by a concentrated
high pressure stream of
hydraulic fluid, seek medical
attention immediately.
SAFETY
6. Make sure all guards are in place and
properly secured when maintenance work is
completed. Serious injury can occur from being
caught in unguarded moving parts.
7. Never wear baggy or frayed clothing when
working around or on any of the drive system
components. Loose garments can become
entangled in moving parts, pulling you into the
machine, causing serious injury or death.
8. Before applying pressure to a hydraulic
system, be sure all lines, fittings and couplers are
tight and in good condition. Leaking fittings are a
fire hazard. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can
pierce the skin, causing serious injury or toxic
reaction.
9. Wear protective
glasses and other required
safety equipment when
servicing or repairing the
broom.
10. Keep hands, feet, hair and
clothing away from moving parts.
Death or serious injury can occur
from entanglement in moving parts.
11. Clear the area of bystanders when carrying
out any maintenance, repairs or adjustments.
12. Do not service the broom while it is in
motion or while the engine is running. If the engine
must be running to service a component, place
Forward/Reverse control in neutral, apply parking
brake, block wheels and use extreme caution.
13. Do not make repairs on pressurized
components, fluid, gas or machinery until the
pressure has been properly relieved. Use
extreme caution when removing radiator cap,
drain plug, grease fitting or pressure taps. Park
the broom and let it cool before opening a
pressurized compartment.
