WARNING
Heed the following when removing or installing an attachment or option:
¡¡
¡¡
¡Consult with a Takeuchi dealer before installing optional attachments.
¡¡
¡¡
¡Do not use attachments that have not been approved by Takeuchi or a Takeuchi
dealer. Doing so may compromise safety or adversely affect the machine’s operation
or service life.
¡¡
¡¡
¡Takeuchi will not be held responsible for any injuries, accidents or damage to
products caused by the use of a non-approved attachment.
¡¡
¡¡
¡Choose a flat, hard surface to perform the operations. Also make sure there is enough
light and good ventilation.
¡¡
¡¡
¡Clean the area, remove any articles that may get in the way or be dangerous, and
remove any spilt oil or grease.
¡¡
¡¡
¡When performing lifting operations, determine a person to lead the operations and
always follow that person’s instructions.
• Follow the leader’s instructions on operating methods and procedures.
• Determine a signal leader and heed this person’s signals.
¡¡
¡¡
¡When removing or installing the hoe attachment, place it in a stable position so that
it does not tip over.
¡¡
¡¡
¡Due to the risk of loads falling and/or hitting people, do not allow unauthorized
personnel in the work area.
¡¡
¡¡
¡Use the crane to carry heavy objects (25 kg (55 lb.) or greater).
¡¡
¡¡
¡When removing heavy parts, be sure to prop them up before removing them. When
lifting them with a crane, be careful to balance them properly.
¡¡
¡¡
¡Operating with loads suspended with the crane is dangerous. Place loads on a
stand and check for safety.
¡¡
¡¡
¡When attaching the boom or arm, failure to follow proper procedures could result in
serious damage. Consult with a Takeuchi dealer beforehand.
Precautions on Installing Attachments
After replacing optional attachments or other special attachments, test-run them, then inspect
the hydraulic oil level and add oil if necessary.
In addition, consult with a Takeuchi dealer for details of removal and installation procedures.
