Safety when servicing
General 151
Safety when lifting and supporting the
machine
n Use only lifting devices with sufficient capacity to safely sup-
port the expected weight you are lifting.
n All lifting devices (straps, slings, chains, ratchet blocks, etc.)
must comply with applicable regulations and certifications. We
can accept no responsibility for the use of sub-standard equip-
ment and work practices.
n If you use a jack, the floor or ground must be even and of suf-
ficient strength to support the expected load. Prevent the ma-
chine from rolling by applying the parking brake and wedge
tire blocks in front and behind the tires that remain on the
ground.
n Place the jack under the axle of the wheel to be removed.
Make sure it is positioned correctly and that it will safely sup-
port the expected load.
n Take care to safely position the supports under the machine.
NOTE! The machine must be lowered from the jack to a suit-
able secure stand before the wheel is removed. Do not use
the jack to support the weight of the machine when removing
the wheel.
Safety when handling oil and fuel
n Hot oil can cause painful burns. Use caution when changing
the engine, transmission or hydraulic oil.
n Oils and fuel can irritate and damage the eyes, throat and oth-
er sensitive skin. Avoid contact.
n Oils and fuel are hazardous to the environment. Take special
care not to spill or discharge these fluids. Use approved con-
tainers and methods to handle and dispose machine fluids.
Use an authorized disposal and recycling company.
n Be aware of the risk of fire.
