Servicing

• Do not service the machine when the engine is running. If it is absolutely necessary
to run the engine while servicing, beware of the moving parts.
• Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide
fumes can accumulate.
• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines
are in good condition and leak-free.
• Keep your body and hands away from pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic
fluid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not your hands, to search
for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to
penetrate the skin and cause serious injury.
• Check all fuel lines on a regular basis for tightness and wear. Tighten or repair them
as needed.
• If the engine must be running to perform a service, keep hands, feet, clothing and
any part of the body away from any moving part, especially the cooling fan and the
belts at the back of the engine.
• Do not touch the engine, muffler, or exhaust pipe while the engine is running or
soon after it has stopped. These areas will be very hot and can cause burns.
• The engine must be shut off before checking or adding oil.
