prevent machine from moving.
2. Before servicing or making adjustments, disconnect
the spark plug wires from the spark plugs and position
the wires away from the spark plugs to ensure that the
engine will not start unexpectedly.

keeping all nuts, bolts and screws tight.
4. Never store the machine or fuel container inside
where there is an open flame, such as near a water heat-
er or furnace.
5. Make sure all hydraulic system line connectors are
tight and all hydraulic system hoses and lines are in
good condition before applying pressure to the hydraulic
system.
6. Before disconnecting any hydraulic component or
performing any work on the hydraulic system, all pres-

7. Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure.
Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search for leaks.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have suffi-
cient force to penetrate skin and do serious damage. If
fluid is injected into the skin it must be surgically re-
moved within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this
form of injury or gangrene may result.
