Warnings
WARNING — When replacement parts are required for this product Trimble recommends
using Trimble replacement parts or parts with equivalent specifications including, but not
limited to, physical dimensions, type, strength and material. Failure to heed this warning can
lead to premature failures, product damage, personal injury or death.
WARNING — When transporting machines with removable sensors such as GNSS receivers
or UTS targets installed, if the sensor mounting bracket clamp loosens, then the sensor may
be dislodged from the machine which may result in injury or death. Always remove and store
removable sensors prior to transport.
WARNING — When removing or installing removable sensors such as GNSS receivers or
UTS targets, if the sensor is accessed improperly, then a fall may result in injury or death.
Always follow site, state or national Health and Safety guidelines when removing or
installing removable sensors.
WARNING — The cutting edge of the machine may move without warning when automatic
controls are on. These sudden movements could cause injury to anyone near the cutting
edge, or damage to the machine. Always put the system in Manual and engage the
machine's park brake before you leave the machine, or when somebody is working near the
cutting edge.
WARNING — If you create a ramp or other work platform that is too steep, machines and
vehicles using the ramp or platform could become difficult to control. This could result in
harm to the operator, to others, or damage to the machine. To ensure your safety and the
safety of others, find out what the maximum slope for your site is and make sure you do not
exceed it.
WARNING — Do not operate or work on this machine unless you have read and understand
the instructions and warnings in the Operator's manual. Failure to follow the instructions or
heed warnings could result in injury or death. Contact your dealer for replacement manuals.
Proper care is your responsibility.
