to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to
modify or alter the equipment or any of its compo-
nents in any way.
Your dealer can supply original equipment
hydraulic accessories and repair parts. Substitute
parts may not meet original equipment specifica-
tions and may be dangerous.
To prevent contamination, clean and then cover
hose ends, fittings, and hydraulic ports with tape.

ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-
ing equipment.

equipment specifications and may be dangerous.
8 Safety
SAFETY RULES
Tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws to torque
chart specifications. Check that all cotter pins are
installed securely to ensure equipment is in a safe
condition before putting unit into service.
Keep machine in good working order. Replace
worn or damaged parts.
Make sure all safety decals are installed.
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for
location.)
Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-
aged.
Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until engine is
stopped, power unit is properly secured, equip-
ment and all components are lowered to the
ground, and system pressure is released by oper-
ating all valve control levers.
When lubricating telescoping PTO drives, keep
fingers out of shield access slots to prevent injury.
Wear gloves when installing belt. Be careful to
prevent fingers from being caught between belt
and pulley.
Use care when installing or removing belt from
spring-loaded idler. Springs store energy when
extended and, if released suddenly, can cause per-
sonal injury.

Keep children and bystanders away from stor-
age area.
