4.Safety
Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedure
BEFORE cleaning, adjusting, lubricating, fueling, or servicing the machine, or
leaving it unattended:
1. Bring the machine to a complete stop on a level surface. Avoid parking on an
incline or hillside, but if this is not possible, park along the slope, not across.
Prevent the machine from moving, block the tires with wedges for example.
2. Be sure all working equipment and/or attachments are stopped and the
auxiliary valve is in neutral.
3. Lower the lift arm and attachment completely.
4. Place forward/reverse drive switch (on top of the joystick) into the neutral
position.
5. Apply the parking brake.
6. Move the throttle to low idle position and shut off the engine.
7. Wait for all movement to stop. Turn the ignition key to the "I" or RUN position
and move the multi-purpose joystick in all directions to verify that the hydraulic
system is de-pressurized.
8. If so equipped, press the auxiliary hydraulics pressure relief control. After
pressing, make sure this control returns to the neutral position.
9. Turn off the ignition.
10. Unfasten the seat belt and remove the ignition key and take it with you. Exit
the machine using the hand holds.
ONLY when these precautions have been taken can you be sure it is safe to
proceed. Failure to follow this procedure could result in death or serious injury.
Before Starting
•
Do not remove or modify the Roll-Over Protective Structure ("ROPS"). Modifi-
cations, such as welding, drilling or cutting, can weaken the structure and
reduce the protection it provides. A damaged ROPS cannot be repaired - it
must be replaced.
•
Never operate the machine without a ROPS or FOPS installed.
•
To ensure safe operation, replace damaged or worn-out parts with genuine
service parts.
•
The machine is designed and intended to be used only with approved attach-
ments. To avoid possible personal injury, equipment damage and performance
problems, use only attachments that are approved for use on and within the
operating capacity of the machine, see chapter "Technical data". Contact the
Tobroco Machinery LLC service department for information on attachment
approval and compatibility with specific machine models. Tobroco Machinery
LLC cannot be responsible if the machine is used with a non-approved attach-
ment.
