• Before starting any maintenance operation, position the ma-
chine on a firm and level surface, rest the equipment onto the
ground, engage the safety locks of either the equipment and the
controls and stop the engine.
• If another person starts the engine and operates the control le-
vers while the operator is providing for service, this may result in
serious injuries or even death.
• To avoid these risks, always attach warning plates to the control
levers and to the ignition key before performing any mainte-
nance operation; if necessary, attach additional warning tags al-
so around the machine and in particular on the cab handles.

• Use only the tools provided with the machine and high-quality
tools suitable for the tasks to be performed.
• Do not use worn, damaged, low-quality tools or tools that are
not suitable for the tasks to be performed, in order to avoid any
personal injury.
• After use, always clean the tools carefully and put them in the
appropriate compartment (1) positioned inside the engine hood,
on the left side.
• Only authorized and duly trained personnel can service and repair the machine; additional precautions must be
taken when grinding, welding and using a sledge hammer or heavy hammers.
• When assemblying the equipment or cylinder connection pins, use wooden, plastic or in any case not excessive-
ly hard tools to check the centering of the holes.
Do not use your fingers, since you run the risk of cutting them.
