WARNING

Always follow attachment manufacturer's instructions and safety warnings before approaching attachment head to make adjustments.

WARNING

Do not work below or behind a machine that is parked on a grade.

WARNING

Failure to follow all of the above instructions could result in serious injury or death from crushing.

CAUTION

Do not open cab doors or window screens when cab is on a slope. The doors and screens are heavy and could swing out with considerable force. Anyone in the path of swing could be injured. Anyone opening the door or screen and holding on to it could be pulled out of the cab and injured. Safety

Dispose of fluids properly. Do not pour fluids into the ground, stream, pond or lake. Before draining any fluids, know the proper way to dispose of them. Read, understand and follow all operating safety precautions specified by the attachment manufacturer.

Always be aware of machine pinch points that could cause injury. Never place body parts within the range of motion of the working parts of the machine. Never stand under an object supported with hydraulics. Always use safety stands or a locking device. Before performing work under the boom system ensure it is firmly supported. When opening or closing power operated engine door, watch for personnel in door areas. If the engine is running inside a building, ensure that sufficient ventilation is available to prevent a build-up of toxic exhaust fumes. Run the engine only when it is necessary for testing or adjustments.

Work in a ventilated area. If it is necessary to run an engine in an enclosed area, use an exhaust pipe extension to remove toxic exhaust fumes. If you don't have an exhaust pipe extension, either work outside, or open the shop doors.
