DO NOT attempt to remove material from any part of the machine while it is being operated or components are in
motion.
Make sure all guards and shields are in good condition and properly installed before operating the machine. Never
operate the machine with shields removed. Always close access doors or panels before operating the machine.
Dirty or slippery steps, ladders, walkways, and platforms can cause falls. Make sure these surfaces remain clean and
clear of debris.
A person or pet within the operating area of a machine can be struck or crushed by the machine or its equipment. DO
NOT allow anyone to enter the work area.
Raised equipment and/or loads can fall unexpectedly and crush persons underneath. Never allow anyone to enter
the area underneath raised equipment during operation.
Never operate engine in enclosed spaces as harmful exhaust gases may build up.
Before starting the machine, be sure that all controls are in neutral or park lock position.
Start the engine only from the operator's seat. If the safety start switch is bypassed, the engine can start with the
transmission in gear. Do not connect or short across terminals on the starter solenoid. Attach jumper cables as
described in the manual. Starting in gear may cause death or serious injury.
Always keep windows, mirrors, all lighting, and Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem clean to provide the best possible
visibility while operating the machine.

other locations.

station, then the following precautions must be followed:
1. Bring the engine to low idle speed.
2. Disengage all drive systems.
WARNING
3.
Some components may continue to run down after you disengage drive systems.
