SAFETY 1 DURING MAINTENANCE 1 PERSONNEL Only authorized personnel can service and repair the machine. Extra precautions should be used when grinding, welding, and using a sledge hammer. 1 ATTACHMENTS Place attachments that have been removed from the machine in a safe place so that they do not fall. If they fall on you or others, serious injury could result. 1 WORK UNDER THE MACHINE Always lower all movable work equipment to the ground or to their lowest position before performing service or repairs under the machine. Always block the track shoes of the machine securely. Never work under the machine if the machine is poorly supported.
1 KEEP THE MACHINE CLEAN Spilled oil or grease, or scattered tools or broken pieces are dangerous because they may cause you to slip or trip. Always keep your machine clean and tidy. If water gets into the electrical system, there is danger that the machine may not move or may move unexpectedly. Do not use water or steam to clean sensors, connectors, or the inside of the operator’s compartment. 1 HANDLING HIGH PRESSURE HOSES Do not bend high pressure hoses or hit them with hard objects. Do not use any bent or cracked piping, tubes or hoses. They may burst during use. Always repair any loose or broken fuel hoses or oil hoses. If fuel or oil leaks, it may cause a fire.
Avoid torching, soldering or welding on pipes, tubes or equipment that contain fuel or oils. If heated they can generate flam- mable fumes or mist and could cause a fire or explosion. 1 PRECAUTION WITH BATTERY When repairing the electrical system or when carrying out electrical welding, remove the negative terminal of the battery to stop the flow of current.
