1.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
The proper and safe lubrication and maintenance for this machine, recommended by manufacturer, is
outlined in this operator's manual for this machine.
Improper performance of lubrication or maintenance procedures are dangerous and could result in injury
or death. Read and understand this operator's manual before performing any lubrication or maintenance.
The serviceman or mechanic may be unfamiliar with many of the systems on this machine. This
makes it important to use caution when performing service work. Knowledge of the systems and
components is important before removal or disassembly of any component.
Because of the size of some of the machine components, the serviceman or mechanic should check
the weights noted in this manual. Use proper lifting procedures when removing any components.
The following is a list of basic precautions that must always be observed.
1. Read and understand all Warning plates and labels on the machine before Operating, Maintaining
or Repairing this machine.
2. Always wear protective glasses and protective shoes when working around machines.
In particular, wear protective glasses when using hammers, punches or drifts on any part of the
machine or attachments. Use welders gloves, hood/goggles, apron and the protective clothing
appropriate to the welding job being performed. Do not wear loose fitting or torn clothing.
Remove all rings from fingers, loose jewelry, confine long hair and loose clothing before working
on this machinery.
3. Disconnect the battery and hang a "Do Not Operate" tag in the Operator's Compartment. Remove
key from starter key switch.
4. If possible, make all repairs with the machine parked on a level, hard surface. Block the machine
so it does not roll while working on or under the machine. Hang a "Do Not Operate" tag in the
Operator's Compartment.
5. Do not work on any machine that is supported only by lift, jacks or a hoist. Always use blocks
or jack stands, capable of supporting the machine, before performing any disassembly.
6. Relieve all pressure in air, oil or water systems before any lines, fittings or related items are
disconnected or removed. Always make sure all raised components are blocked correctly and be
alert for possible pressure when disconnecting any device from a system that utilizes pressure.
7. Lower the bucket, blade (if equipped), or other attachments to the ground before performing any
work on the machine. If this cannot be done, make sure the bucket, blade (if equipped) or other
attachment is blocked correctly to prevent it from dropping unexpectedly.
8. Use steps and grab handles when mounting or dismounting a machine. Clean any mud, grease,
oil or debris from steps, walkways or work platforms before using. Always face the machine when
using steps, ladders and walkways. When it is not possible to use the designed access system,
provide ladders, scaffolds, or work, platforms to perform safe repair operations.
9. Avoid back injury. Use a hoist when lifting components which weigh 23 kg (50 lb) or more. Make
sure all chains, hooks, slings, etc., are in good condition and are the correct capacity. Be sure
hooks are positioned correctly. Lifting eyes are not to be side loaded during a lifting operation.
10. To avoid burns, be alert for hot parts and surfaces immediately after stopping the machine such
as hot fluids in lines, tubes and compartment covers.
11. Be careful when removing cover plates. Gradually back off the last two bolts or nuts located at
opposite ends of the cover or device and carefully pry cover loose to relieve any spring or other
pressure, before removing the last two bolts or nuts completely.

12. Be careful when removing filler caps, breathers and plugs on the machine. Hold a rag over the
cap or plug to prevent being sprayed or splashed by liquids under pressure. The danger is even
greater if the machine has just been stopped because fluids can be hot.
13. Always use the proper tools that are in good condition and that are suited for the job at hand. Be
sure you understand how to use them before performing any service work.
14. Reinstall all fasteners with the same part number. Do not use a lesser quality fastener if
replacements are necessary.
15. Repairs which require welding should be performed only with the benefit of the appropriate
reference information and by personnel adequately trained and knowledgeable in welding
procedures. Determine type of metal being welded and select correct welding procedure and
electrodes, rods or wire to provide a weld metal strength at least equivalent to that of the parent
metal. Disconnect battery before any welding procedures are attempted.
16. Do not damage wiring during repair/removal operations. Reinstall the wiring so it is not damaged
nor will be damaged in operation of the machine by contacting sharp corners, or by rubbing
against some object or hot surface. Do not connect wiring to a line containing fluid.
17. Make sure all protective devices including guards and shields are properly installed and
functioning correctly before starting a repair. If a guard or shield must be removed to perform the
repair work, use extra caution and replace the guard or shield after repair is complete.
18. Performing maintenance or repair work on the machine with the bucket/attachment raised is
hazardous. The bucket/attachment and lift arm could fall and injure or kill a person. Be sure to
lower the bucket or attachment to the ground before starting work on the machine.
19. Loose or damaged fuel, lubricant and hydraulic lines, tubes and hoses can cause fires. Do not
bend or strike high pressure lines or install parts which are bent or damaged. Inspect lines, tubes
and hoses carefully. Do not check for leaks with your hands. Very small (pinhole) leaks can
result in a high velocity oil stream that will be invisible close to the hose. This oil can penetrate
the skin and cause personal injury. Use a small piece of card-board, wood or metal to locate
pinhole leaks.
20. Tighten connections to the correct torque. Make sure that all heat shields, clamps and guards are
installed correctly to avoid excessive heat, vibration or rubbing against other parts during operation.
Shields that protect against oil spray onto hot exhaust components in event of a line, tube or
seal failure must be installed correctly.
21. Do not operate a machine if any rotating part is damaged or contacts any other part during
operation. Any high speed rotating component that has been damaged or altered should be
checked for balance before reusing.
22. Be careful when servicing or separating the tracks (crawlers). Chips can fly when removing or
installing a track (crawlers) pin. Wear safety glasses and long sleeve protective clothing. Tracks
(crawlers) can unroll very quickly when separated. Keep away from front and rear of machine. The
machine can move unexpectedly when both tracks (crawlers) are disengaged from the sprockets.
Block the machine to prevent it from moving.
23. Caution should be used to avoid breathing dust that may be generated when handling components
containing asbestos fibers. If this dust is inhaled, it can be hazardous to your health. Components
in Manufacture products that may contain asbestos fibers are brake pads, brake band and lining
assembles, clutch plates and some gaskets. The asbestos used in these components is usually
bound in a resin or sealed in some way. Normal handling is not hazardous as long as air-borne
dust which contains asbestos is not generated.
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH (In 5. Regard)
Do not operate this machine unless you have read and understand the instructions in this operator's
manual. Improper machine operation is dangerous and could result in injury or death.
