Safety Suggestions
The manufacturer, dealer and/or agent can not
anticipate every possible circumstance that might
involve potential hazard. The Warnings, Cautions
and Safety Suggestions in this manual are therefore
not all inclusive. If an operating procedure, tool
device, maintenance or work method not specif-
ically recommended is used, you must also ensure
that the product will not be damaged or made
unsafe by the procedures you choose.

equipment operated by it until the tractor engine
is shut down and all machine motion is stopped,
unless specific instructions are given for a
particular repair or procedure.
• Always direct compressed air away from the
body and towards a safe area. Use only an
approved air nozzle and wear adequate eye
protection.

other special tooling.
• Always inspect all lift tie chains and/or slings
periodically, replace any that show signs of
damage.
• Always use a rated alloy chain for lifting or a
sling of asize and type adequate fort he intended
usage.
• Always relieve all pressure in air, oil or water
systems before any lines, fittings or related
items are disconnected or removed. Be alert for
possible fluid pressure or spring force when
disconnecting or repairing any device from a
system that utilizes fluid pressure or spring
force.
• Always reinstall all fasteners with the same part
number. Do not use a lessor quality fastener if
replacements are necessary.
• Always wear eye protection when charging,
boosting or performing other services to or

• Do not try to locate high pressure fluid leaks
with your hands. Use cardboard or wood to
search for suspected leaks. High pressure fluid
escaping from a very small area can be nearly
invisible. If injured by high pressure fluid, seek
immediate medical attention. Serious infection
or reaction can develop if proper medical treat-
ment is not administered immediately.

power tools requiring a guard. Wear safety
glasses and safety shoes whenever they may be
