Service Handler Safely
Always engage parking brake or place transmission in "PARK", lower boom to the ground, shut off engine and remove key before servicing the handler.
Do not walk, work or perform service under a raised boom, bucket or attachment unless it is securely blocked or held in position. Do not support the boom on cinder blocks, hollow tiles, or props that may crumble under continuous load. Do not work under the boom supported solely by a jack.
Follow recommended procedures in this manual.
Before disconnecting hydraulic hoses, relieve all hydraulic pressure.
Do not climb on handler to service or lubricate. Use a platform or step ladder to service or lubricate handler.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts.
Hydraulic hoses can fail due to physical damage, kinks, age and exposure. Check hoses regularly. Replace damaged hoses.
