SAFETY Running the Machine During Maintenance To prevent personal injury, do not carry out maintenance with the engine running. If maintenance must be carried out with the engine running, carry out the operation with at least two workers and follow this procedure. One worker must always sit in the operator’s seat and be ready to stop the engine at any time. All workers must maintain contact with the other workers. Instruct the person sitting in the cab not to operate any controls unless instructed to do so. When carrying out operations near the fan, fan belt, or other rotating parts, there is a danger of being caught in the parts. Be very careful not to get close to these parts.
Never drop or insert tools or other objects into the fan, fan belt, or other rotating parts. There is danger that these objects may contact the rotating parts and break, or be sent flying. For machines equipped with ECSS (Electronically Controlled Suspension System), be sure the system is OFF before proceeding with any maintenance procedures. Lower the work equipment completely to the ground, then set work equipment lock lever (1) to the LOCK position (L) to prevent the work equipment from moving. Set parking brake switch (2) to the ON position (A) to apply the parking brake, then put blocks in front of and behind the tires to prevent the machine from moving.
Be careful not to touch the control levers or steering equipment. If the control levers must be operated, always give a signal to your partner and have your partner withdraw to a safe place. 1-44 WA430-6
