Never perform hasty or makeshift repairs that could compromise the good operation of the attachment. In
the case of doubt, always request service by specialized personnel.

In the case of repairs near or below the attachment, make sure that there are no moving parts that can
start working and that parts that are, by their nature, unstable are not positioned on, or near, the
attachment ; in any case, see to blocking them with adequate tools.
Unless expressly specified by this manual, avoid repairing or adjusting the attachment (or parts of it) during
work, in order to avoid being hooked by moving parts.
