8. PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE AWARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions. STOP THE ENGINE BEFORE CARRYING OUT INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Always stop the machine on firm flat ground and stop the engine before carrying out in- spection and maintenance. If it is necessary to run the engine when carrying out maintenance, such as when clean- ing the inside of the radiator, place the safety lock, safety lever and brake lock lever at the LOCK positions 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. The worker carrying out the maintenance should be extremely careful not to touch or get caught in the moving parts. If maintenance is carried out with the work equipment raised, always support it securely with blocks. OFF 1-16
