AwARNING
Heed the following when removing or installing an attachment or option:
• Consult with a Takeuchi before installing optional attachments.
• Do not use attachments that have not been approved by Takeuchi. Doing so may
compromise safety or adversely affect the machine's operation or service life.
• Takeuchi will not be held responsible for any injuries, accidents or damage to products
caused by the use of a non-approved attachment.
• Choose a flat, hard surface to perform the operations. Also make sure there is enough
light and good ventilation.
• Clean the area, remove any articles that may get in the way or be dangerous, and
remove any spilled oil or grease.
• When removing or installing a attachment, place it in a stable position so that it does
not tip over.
• Due to the risk of loads falling and/or hitting people, do not allow unauthorized
personnel in the work area.
• Use a crane to carry heavy objects [25 kg (55 lb.) or greater].
• When removing heavy parts, be sure to prop them up before removing them. When
lifting them with a crane, be careful to balance them properly.
• Operating with loads suspended with the crane is dangerous. Place loads on a stand
and check for safety.
• When attaching the attachments, failure to follow proper procedures could result in
serious damage. Consult a Takeuchi dealer beforehand.
Precautions on Installing Attachments
After replacing optional attachments or other special attachments, test-run them, then inspect
the hydraulic oil level and add oil if necessary.
In addition, consult a Takeuchi dealer for details of removal and installation procedures.
