SAFETY WARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions. ! When carrying out inspection and maintenance, always stop the machine on firm, level ground where there is no danger of falling rocks and landslides, and where there is no danger of floods. Lower the work equipment to the ground and stop the engine. ! Operate the work equipment control lever to the RAISE and LOWER positions 2 or 3 times to release the remaining pressure in the hydraulic circuit, then set safety lock lever to the LOCK position. !
If it is necessary to run the engine when carrying out maintenance, such as when cleaning the inside of the radiator, place the safety lock lever in the LOCK position and carry out the operation with two workers. ! One worker should sit in the operator's seat so that he can stop the engine immediately if necessary. He should also be extremely careful not to touch any lever by mistake. Touch the levers only when they have to be operated. ! Put blocks under the shoes to prevent the track from moving. ! The worker doing the maintenance should be extremely careful not to touch or get caught in the moving parts. !
When carrying out inspection and maintenance with the work equipment raised, fit stand under the boom to prevent the work equipment from moving down. ! In addition, set the work equipment control levers to HOLD, then set safety lock lever 10 to the LOCK position. Hoses in the fuel system, hydraulic system, and brake system are important parts for safety, so they must be replaced at periodic intervals. The replacement of such safety critical parts requires skill and experience, so please contact your distributor for replacement. Replace these components periodically with new ones, regardless of whether or not they appear to be defective.
These components deteriorate over time, and leakage of oil may cause fire or failure of the work equipment system. Replace or repair any such components if any defect is found, even though they have not reached the time specified. Replacement of safety critical parts !
