Contact with high voltage power lines, undergroundcables, etc., can cause serious injury or death fromelectrocution.

Before you drive or operate in an area with highvoltage lines, cables, or a power station, tell thepower or utility company what you are going to do.You MUST HAVE THE POWER DISCONNECTEDOR KEEP A SAFE WORKING DISTANCE from thelines, cables, or power station.

Keep all parts of the machine a safe distance awayfrom the power source. You must also know anyfederal, state/provincial, or local safety codes orregulations that apply to the job site.

If a part of the machine touches high voltage power:

1. Warn other workers NOT TO TOUCH THEMACHINE and to stay away from the ma-chine.

2. If you can break contact, reverse the opera-tion that caused contact with the high voltagepower, and move the machine away from thedanger area. If you cannot break contact stayin the machine until the utility company de-en-ergizes the line and tells you that the power isoff.

If you have extreme conditions, such as a fire, etc.,and you are forced to leave themachine, do not stepoff the machine. Jump as far from the machine as

possible with your feet together and do not touchthe ground with your hands.

Do not operate the machine if you do not feel well.This can be dangerous for you and for the peoplearound you.

Youmust make a judgment if weather, road, or earthconditions will permit safe operation on a hill, ramp,or rough ground.

Stay away from hazardous areas such as ditches,overhangs, etc. Walk around the work area beforeyou start and look for hazards.

Be alert and always know the location of all workersin your area. Keep all other persons completelyaway from your machine. Injury or death can resultif you do not follow these instructions.

Develop fluid and smooth operating techniques,and maintain the surface condition where the ma-chine travels in order to control vibration transfer tothe operator.

Safety rules - Maintenance precautions

Do not attempt repairs unless trained. Refer toman-uals and experienced repair personnel for help.

Before you service the machine, always place a DONOT OPERATE tag on the key switch. Make surethat the machine is clearly tagged out.

Wear protective glasses and other required safetyequipment when servicing or repairing the machine.

Wear gloves to protect hands when handling cable.

Disconnect the battery before working on the elec-trical system. Know the consequences of discon-necting any electronic or computer devices.

Avoid lubrication or mechanical adjustments withthe machine in motion or the engine operating. Ifthe engine must be in operation to make certain ad-justments, place the transmission in neutral, applythe parking device, place the bucket/attachment ina safe position, securely block the wheels and useextreme caution.

Securely block the machine or any component thatmay fall before working on the machine or compo-nent. If possible, use a back up or secondary block-ing device as well.

To prevent unexpected movement, securely blockworking elements when repairing or changing work-ing tool parts such as cutting edges.

Never make repairs on pressurized components,fluid, gas or mechanical until the pressure has beenrelieved according to the manufacturers instruc-tions.

Use extreme caution when removing radiator, reser-voir, or tank caps, drain plugs, grease fittings orpressure taps. Park the machine and let it cool be-fore opening a pressurized tank.

Release all pressure before working on systemswhich have an accumulator.

Hydraulic oil or diesel fuel leaking under pressurecan penetrate the skin and cause infection or other

injuries. To prevent personal injury, relieve all pres-sure before disconnecting fluid lines or performingwork on the hydraulic system. Before applying pres-sure, make certain all connections are tight andcomponents are in good condition.

Use a piece of cardboard, newspaper, or wood tocheck for any pressurized leaks to prevent fluid pen-etrating the skin. Pressurize accumulators with theproper gas according to manufacturers recommen-dations.

When inflating tires, use a self-attaching inflationchuck with remote shutoff and stand clear of the tire.Position yourself beside the tire and not beside therim.

Towing this machine is not recommended.

When absolutely necessary to tow the machine, donot exceed the recommended towing speed. Besure the towing machine has sufficient braking ca-pacity to stop the towed load. If the towed machinecannot be braked, a tow bar must be used or twotowing machines must be used - one in front pullingand one in the rear to act as a brake. Avoid towingover long distances.

Always observe proper maintenance procedures.

Always replace all missing, illegible or damagedsafety signs or decals as necessary. Keeps allsafety signs and decals clean and legible.

Observe proper maintenance procedures

Whenever servicing or replacing hardened pins,etc., use a brass drift or other suitable materialbetween the hammer and pin. Alt: Use a brasshammer, drift or suitable material on the pin, etc.

Keep the brakes and steering systems in good op-erating condition.

Safety rules - Fuel handling

Do not smoke or permit open flames while fuelingor near fueling operations.

Never remove the fuel cap or refuel machines withthe engine running or the engine hot. Never al-low fuel to spill on hot machine components. Avoidspilling fuel on the ground or contaminating the en-vironment.

Alwaysmaintain control of the fuel filter nozzle whenfilling the tank. This will help avoid spilling fuel.

Clean up spilled fuel immediately and dispose of allcontaminatedmaterial in an environmentally correctmanner.

Tightened the fuel tank cap securely. Should thefuel cap be lost, replace it only with the manufac-turer's approved cap. Use of a non-approved capwithout proper venting may result in pressurizationof the tank.

Never use gasoline for cleaning purposes.

Use the correct fuel for the operating season.

Handling Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)

Your machine is equipped with additional compo-nents to comply with national and local exhaustemissions requirements. Diesel exhaust fluid orDEF is a non-toxic aqueous urea solution. It chem-ically reduces NOx emissions from heavy dutydiesel powered machines. It is not explosive or con-sidered harmful to the environment and is classifiedunder the minimum risk category of transportablefluids.

Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) is not re-quired under normal conditions. If splashing islikely, wear eye protection.

For prolonged or repeated contact, imperviousgloves are recommended.

Clean up spilled fluid immediately and dispose of allcontaminatedmaterial in an environmentally correctmanner.

Follow the precautions listed in this safety informa-tion chapter when handling any service fluid.

Safety rules - Burn Prevention

WARNINGBattery acid causes burns. Batteries containsulfuric acid.Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid.Contact with skin and eyes could result insevere irritation and burns. Always wearsplash-proof goggles and protective clothing(gloves and aprons). Wash hands after han-dling.Failure to comply could result in death or se-rious injury.

W0120A

CAUTIONBurn hazard!Hot coolant can spray out if you remove thefiller cap while the system is hot. After thesystem has cooled, turn the filler cap to thefirst notch and wait for all pressure to releasebefore proceeding.Failure to comply could result in minor ormoderate injury.

C0043A

When the battery electrolyte is frozen, the batterycan explode if, you try to charge the battery, or ifyou try to boost start and run the engine. To preventthe battery electrolyte from freezing, try to keep thebattery at full charge. If you do not follow theseinstructions, you or others in the area can be injured.

Hot coolant can spray out if the cooling system capis removed. To remove the cap, let the cooling sys-tem cool, turn to the first notch, wait until the pres-sure is released, then remove the cooling systemtank cap.
