Lifting and
transporting
When lifting the machine:
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.
Remain aware of the location of other people when lifting the machine.
To reduce the possibility of injury:
Do not stand under the machine while it is being hoisted or moved.
Do not get onto the machine while it is being hoisted or moved.
Cleaning and
servicing the
machine
While cleaning or servicing the machine:
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.
Keep the machine clean and labels legible.
Keep hands, feet, and loose clothing away from moving parts.
While cleaning or servicing the machine:
Do not remove air cleaner cover, paper element, or precleaner while engine is
running.
Do not attempt to open the radiator cap while the machine is running or before
the engine has cooled down. Severe burns may result!
Do not attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running. Rotating parts
can cause severe injury.
Do not use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to clean parts,
especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and solvents can become
explosive.
Do not tip the machine for cleaning or for any other reason.
Always replace safety devices and guards after completing repairs and
maintenance.
Before you start the machine, ensure that all tools have been removed from the
machine and that replacement parts and adjusters are firmly tightened.
WARNING
Possibility of injury. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, cause
burns, blind, or create other potentially dangerous hazards.
f Set all controls to neutral, turn the engine off, and allow fluids to cool before
loosening hydraulic fittings or attaching test gauges.
f Do not open hydraulic lines or loosen hydraulic connections when the engine is
running.
f Before dismantling hydraulic connectors or hoses, ensure that all pressure has
been bled from the circuit.
f 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.
f Always make sure hose connections have been reconnected back to the cor-
rect fitting. Failure to do so may result in damage to the machine and/or injury to
person on or near the machine.
