Always clean the machine
• Clean the machine before performing maintenance.
• Cover electrical parts when washing the machine.
Water on electrical parts could cause short-circuits
or malfunctions.
Do not use water or steam to wash the battery,
sensors, connectors or the operator’s seat area.
Stop the engine before performing
maintenance
• Avoid lubrication or mechanical adjustments with
the machine in motion or with the engine running
while stationary.
• If maintenance must be performed with the engine
running, always work as a 2-person team with one
person sitting in the operator’s seat while the other
works on the machine.
• When performing maintenance, be sure to keep
your body and clothing away from moving
parts.
Stay clear of moving parts
• Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts. Wrap-
ping or entanglement may result in serious injury
or death.
• Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the
rotating fan and running fan belts.
Securely block the machine or any
component that may fall
• Before performing maintenance or repairs under
the machine, set all working equipment against the
ground or in the lowermost position.
• Securely block the tracks.
• If you must work beneath the raised machine or
equipment, always use wood blocks, jack-stands
or other rigid and stable supports. Never get under
the machine or working equipment if they are not
sufficiently supported. This procedure is espe-
cially important when working on hydraulic cylin-
ders.
Securely block the working equipment
To prevent unexpected movement, securely block the
working equipment when repairing or replacing the
cutting edges or bucket teeth.
Secure the engine hood or cover when
opened
Be sure to secure the engine hood or cover when
opening it. Do not open the engine hood or cover on
slopes or in strong wind.
Place heavy objects in a stable position
When removing or installing the hoe attachment,
place it in a stable position so that it does not tip over.
