SAFE OPERATION
• Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all
times.
• Do not remove the radiator cap while coolant is hot.
When cool, slowly rotate cap to the first stop and
allow sufficient time for excess pressure to escape
before removing the cap completely. If the machine
has a coolant recovery tank, add coolant there
instead of the radiator.
• Do not attempt to mount a tire on a rim unless
qualified to do so and all proper safety precautions
are followed. Never allow untrained personnel to
service the machine.
• Always maintain the correct tire inflation pressure.
Do not inflate tires above the recommended
pressure shown in the Operator's Manual.
• Provide adequate support when changing wheels.
• Make sure that wheel nuts and bolts have been
tightened to the specified torque.
• Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure has
sufficient force to penetrate the skin causing
serious personal injury. Before disconnecting lines,
relieve all pressure. Before applying pressure to the
system, make sure all connections are tight and
that lines, pipes, and hoses are not damaged.

• Fluid escaping from pinholes may be invisible. Use
a piece of cardboard or wood to search for
suspected leaks: do not use hands. Use safety
goggles or other eye protection.
If you get injured by escaping fluid, see a medical
doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction will
result if proper
administered immediately. This fluid can produce
gangrene or severe allergic reaction.
