Never lubricate or service machine while it is moving. Keep hands, feet, and clothing from power-driven parts.
Before servicing machine:
-
Park the machine on a level surface.
-
Lower front-mounted equipment to ground.
-
Install frame locking pin before working in frame hinge pivot area.
-
Engage park brake.
-
Turn key switch OFF.
-
Turn battery disconnect switch off.
-
Allow engine to cool.
If maintenance procedure must be performed with engine running, do not leave machine unattended.
Securely support any machine elements that must be raised for service work.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts. Remove any buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
Turn battery disconnect switch to OFF before making adjustments on electrical systems or welding on machine.
