Avoid Injury from Attachment Falling Accident

 Stored attachments such as buckets, hydraulic hammers,
and blades can fall and cause serious injury or death.
 To avoid possible personal injury from attachment falling
accident, use a platform when replacing an attachment.
 Securely store attachments and implements to prevent
falling.
 Keep children and bystanders away from attachment
storage areas.
Support Maintenance Properly
 Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause
serious injury or death.
 Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the
proper equipment and experience to perform the job.
Have it done by your authorized dealer or a qualified
repair service.
 Always maintain the correct tire pressure. DO NOT inflate
tire above the recommended pressure.
 When inflating tires, use a chip-on chuck and extension
hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and
not in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage
if available.
 Inspect tires and wheels daily. Do not operate with low
pressure, cuts bubbles, damaged rims, or missing lug
bolts and nuts.
 Never cut or weld on an inflated tire or rim assembly. Heat
from welding could cause an increase in pressure and
may result in tire explosion.
