SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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. A knowledge of the system and or components
is important before the removal or disassembly of
any component.
Because of the size of some of the machine compo-
nents, the serviceman or mechanic should check the
weights noted in this manual. Use proper lifting proce-
dures when removing any components. Weight of
components table is shown in the section ; SPECIFI-
CATIONS.
The following is a list of basic precautions that must
always be observed.
1. Read and understand all Warning plates and
decal 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 Operators Compartment.
Remove ignition keys.
4. If possible, make all repairs with the machine
parked on a firm level surface. Block the machine
so it does not roll while working on or under the
machine. Hang a Do Not Operate tag in the
Operators 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, dozer, or other attachments to
the ground before performing any work on the
machine. If this cannot be done, make sure the
bucket, dozer, ripper 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 or debris
from steps, walkways or work platforms before
using. Always face to 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. To avoid back injury, use a hoist when lifting
components which weigh 20kg (45lbs) 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 on
machines which have just been stopped and hot
fluids in lines, tubes and compartments.
11. Be careful when removing cover plates.
Gradually back off the last two capscrews 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 capscrews 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.
