SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE WARNING: Failure to follow these safety precautions may lead to a serious accident. 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. 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 chock the wheels of the machine securely. Never work under the machine if the machine is poorly sup- ported.
KEEP THE MACHINE CLEAN Spilt 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 the sensors, connectors, or the inside of the operator’s compartment. PRECAUTIONS WITH BATTERY When repairing the electrical system or when carrying out electrical welding, remove the negative (-) terminal of the bat- tery to stop the flow of current. 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. 39
