tenance on a Compact Track Loader until you have
read and fully understood both this manual and the

instructions regarding proper machine operation and
maintenance techniques before operating or servicing
any Compact Track Loader.
The person(s) in charge of servicing a Compact Track
Loader may be unfamiliar with many of the systems on
the machine. This makes it especially important to use
caution when performing service tasks. Familiarize
yourself with the affected system(s) and components
before attempting any type of maintenance or service.
It is not possible to anticipate every potential haz-
ard. The safety messages included in this docu-
ment and displayed on the machine are not all-
inclusive. They are intended to make you aware of
potential risks and encourage a safe approach to
performing service work. If you use a tool, proce-
dure, work method or operating technique that is
not specifically recommended by Terex, you must
satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and others.
You must also ensure that the machine will not be
damaged or be made unsafe by the operation,
lubrication, maintenance or repair procedures that
you choose.
