Warnings
C
WARNING – When you are working on the vehicle’s hydraulic systems, vehicle attachments that
are suspended can drop. If you are working around the vehicle, you could suffer serious injury if an
attachment dropped on you. To avoid this risk, lower all vehicle attachments to the ground before
you begin work.
C
WARNING – If someone else attempts to drive the vehicle while you are working on or under it,
you can suffer serious or fatal injuries. To avoid this possibility, install a lockout box on the battery
terminal to prevent the battery from being reconnected, remove the key from the vehicle’s
ignition switch, and attach a “Do not operate” tag in the cab.
C
WARNING – Agricultural chemicals can pose serious health risks. If the vehicle has been used to
apply agricultural chemicals, steam clean the vehicle to remove any chemical residue from the
areas of the vehicle where you will be working.
C
WARNING – Vehicle cabs can be quite high in the air. To avoid potentially serious injury through
falling from this height, always use the steps and handrails, and face the vehicle, when you enter
or exit it.
