Safety—General Precautions
Stay Clear of Moving Parts
Entanglements in moving parts can cause serious injury.
T133592—UN—15APR13
Stop engine before examining, adjusting or maintaining any
part of machine with moving parts.
Keep guards and shields in place. Replace any guard or
shield that has been removed for access as soon as service
or repair is complete.
TX03679,00016D2-19-03JAN07-1/1
Avoid High-Pressure Fluids
Inspect hydraulic hoses periodically – at least once per year
– for leakage, kinking, cuts, cracks, abrasion, blisters,
corrosion, exposed wire braid or any other signs of wear or
damage.
Replace worn or damaged hose assemblies immediately

Safety—Maintenance Precautions
Park and Prepare for Service Safely
Warn others of service work. Always park and prepare
your machine for service or repair properly.
● Park machine on a level surface and lower equipment
and attachments to the ground.
● Place pilot shutoff lever in “lock” position. Stop engine
T133332—19—17APR13
and remove key.
● Attach a “Do Not Operate” tag in an obvious place in the
operator's station.
Securely support machine or attachment before working
under it.
● Do not support machine with boom, arm, or other
hydraulically actuated attachments.
● Do not support machine with cinder blocks or wooden
pieces that may crumble or crush.
● Do not support machine with a single jack or other
devices that may slip out of place.
Understand service procedures before beginning repairs.
TS229—UN—23AUG88
Keep service area clean and dry. Use two people whenever
the engine must be running for service work.
TX03679,00016E9-19-03JAN07-1/1
Service Machines Safely
Tie long hair behind your head. Do not wear a necktie,
scarf, loose clothing, or necklace when you work near
machine tools or moving parts. If these items were to get
caught, severe injury could result.
Remove rings and other jewelry to prevent electrical shorts
TS228—UN—23AUG88
and entanglement in moving parts.
Service Machines Safely
OUTJ002,00004BA-19-04FEB14-1/1
Service Cooling System Safely
Explosive release of fluids from pressurized cooling system
can cause serious burns.
Do not service radiator through the radiator cap. Only fill
through the surge tank filler cap. Shut off engine. Only
remove surge tank filler cap when cool enough to touch with
