Maintenance Precautions
Prepare the work area
Select a firm, level work area. Make sure
there is adequate light and, if indoors,
ventilation.
Clear obstacles and dangerous objects.
Eliminate slippery areas.
Always clean the machine
Clean the machine before performing
maintenance.
Stop the engine before washing the
machine. Cover the electrical parts so that
water cannot enter. Water on electrical
parts could cause short-circuits or
malfunctions. Do not use water or steam
to wash the battery, electronic control
components, sensors, connectors or the
operator’s compartment.
Stop the engine before performing
maintenance
Avoid lubrication or mechanical
adjustments with the machine in motion or
with the engine running while stationary.
If maintenance must be performed with
the engine running, always work as a two-
person team, with one person sitting in
the operator’s seat while the other works
on the machine.
• When performing maintenance, be sure
to keep your body and clothing away
from moving parts.
Stay clear of moving parts
Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts.
Wrapping or entanglement may result in
serious injury or death.
Keep hands, clothing and tools away from
the rotating fan and running fan belts.
