■ Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the
ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked
and secured. Never place any part of the body
underneath equipment or between moveable
parts even when the engine has been turned off.
Hydraulic system leak down, hydraulic system
failures, mechanical failures, or movement of
control levers can cause equipment to drop or
rotate unexpectedly and cause severe injury or
death. Follow Operator's Manual instructions for
working underneath and blocking requirements
or have work done by an authorized dealer.

area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
■ Make certain all movement of equipment com-
ponents has stopped before approaching for
service.

free of nicks and cracks, and securely fastened.
■ Do not handle blades with bare hands. Wear
gloves. Careless or improper handling may re-
sult in injury.
■ Your dealer can supply genuine replacement
blades. Substitute blades may not meet orig-
inal equipment specifications and may be
dangerous.
■ 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.
■ Make sure all safety decals are installed.
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section
for location.)

ly installed and in good condition. Replace if
damaged.
