If a maintenance procedure must be performed
with the engine running, do not leave machine
unattended.
•
If the machine must be raised, maintain a 90 to
100° angle between the boom and arm. Securely
support any machine elements that must be
raised for service work.

Inspect certain parts periodically and repair or re-
place as necessary. Refer to the section discuss-
ing that part in the "MAINTENANCE" chapter of
this manual.

stalled.

Fix damage immediately. Replace worn or broken
