SAFETY 1 PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE 1 BEFORE CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE 1 WARNING TAG If others start the engine or operate the controls while you are performing service and/or lubrication, you could suf- fer serious injury or death. Always attach the warning tag to the control lever in the operator’s cab to alert others that you are working on the machine. Attach additional tags around the machine, if necessary. These tags are available from your distributor. (Part No. 09963-03000) 1 PROPER TOOLS Use only tools suited to the task. Using damaged, low quality, faulty, or makeshift tools could cause personal injury.
1 STOP ENGINE BEFORE CARRYING OUT INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Always stop the machine on firm flat ground and stop the engine before carrying out inspection and maintenance. 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 occupy the operator’s seat so that he can stop the engine imme- diately 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 maintenance should be extremely careful not to touch or get caught in any moving parts. 1 RULES TO FOLLOW WHEN ADDING FUEL OR OIL Spilled fuel and oil may cause you to slip, so always wipe it up immediately. Always tighten the cap of the fuel and oil fillers securely. Never use fuel for washing any parts. Always add fuel and oil in a well ventilated place 1-18 D87E-2 D87P-2
