Maintenance Safety

• Making unauthorized modifications to the machine may result in it no longer meeting
safety standards and regulations and/or not functioning properly. Allow only competent
and trained personnel to modify the machine according to the applicable standards,
regulations, and machine design functionality and requirements.

• Do not allow untrained personnel to service the machine.
• Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the auxiliary hydraulics, lower the
attachments, engage the parking brake (if equipped), shut off the engine, and remove the
key. Wait for all movement to stop and allow the machine to cool before adjusting,
cleaning, storing, or repairing it.
• Refer to the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines for
appropriate lockout-tagout procedures.
• Keep your hands and feet away from the moving parts. If possible, do not make
adjustments with the engine running.
