1.3.14 Keep the area around the muffler free of debris such as leaves, paper,
cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite the debris and start a fire.
1.3.15 Replace worn or damaged components with spare parts designed and
recommended by Wacker Neuson Corporation.
1.3.16 Disconnect the spark plug on machines equipped with gasoline
engines, before servicing, to avoid accidental start-up.
1.3.17 Keep the machine clean and labels legible. Replace all missing and
hard-to-read labels. Labels provide important operating instructions
and warn of dangers and hazards.
1.3.18 ALWAYS do periodic maintenance as recommended in the Operator’s
Manual.
1.3.19 ALWAYS turn the engine off before performing maintenance or making
repairs.
1.3.20 ALWAYS keep hands, feet and loose clothing away from moving parts.
1.3.21 ALWAYS make sure slings, chains, hooks, ramps, jacks and other
types of lifting devices are attached securely and have enough weight-
bearing capacity to lift or hold the machine safely. Always remain
aware of the location of other people in the area when lifting the
machine.
1.3.22 ALWAYS make sure hose connections have been reconnected back
to the correct fitting. Failure to do so may result in damage to the
machine and/or injury to person on or near the machine.
1.3.23 ALWAYS secure the articulated steering joint using the locking bar
before lifting, jacking, and servicing the machine. The machine halves
could swing together unexpectedly and cause a serious injury.
1.3.24 ALWAYS lock the lifting cylinders in the open position when the seat
pedestal is raised.
1.3.25 Before you start the machine, ensure that all tools have been removed
from the machine and that replacement parts and adjusters are firmly
tightened.
1.3.26 Fluid leaks from small holes are often practically invisible. DO NOT use
your bare hands to check for leaks. Check for leaks using a piece of
cardboard or wood.
