WARNING

Never crawl under equipment when performing maintenance unless equipment is blocked

securely. Keep clear of equipment when it is raised or lowered. Do not place any part of body

between movable and fixed elements of the equipment. Don’t allow heavy components to swing

while suspended by lifting device. Use extreme caution when working near a cable or chain under

tension. When using chain hoist to remove or install parts, be sure hoist is securely fastened to

the part and that all slack in chain is taken up. Death or severe injury may result if personnel fail to

observe these safety precautions. If you are hurt by a falling object or chain or cable under

tension, seek medical aid immediately.

WARNING

Be sure chain hoist is securely fastened to heavy tractor components before removing supporting

hardware. Do not allow heavy components to fall freely. Failure to follow these precautions could

cause serious injury due to parts falling on you. If you are injured by falling equipment, seek

medical aid immediately.

WARNING

Battery box lid is heavy. Secure lid in open position to prevent injury from falling lid. If you are

injured, obtain medical aid immediately.

WARNING

Stand out from raised cab unless safety bar is supporting full weight of cab. Keep clear of deck

when raising or lowering cab.

Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death.

WARNING

Personal injury and property damage can result if vehicle is allowed to move during transmission

stall test or hydraulic pressure test. Secure tractor frame to an immovable object, chock all

wheels, and apply service brakes before you accelerate engine. Do not permit anyone to stand in

front of tractor during test.

WARNING

If hydraulic steering system or fuel system connectors or elbows require replacement, discard

hose. If hydraulic steering system hose is reused, hydraulic oil leakage could occur causing loss

of steering control. This in turn could cause serious injury or loss of life. If fuel system hose is

reused, leakage could occur causing a fire hazard.
