Maintenance Precautions
Prepare the work area

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.
