Prepare the Work Area
• Position the machine on a level area out of the way of
other working equipment.
• Make sure there is adequate light, ventilation and
clearance.
• Remove oil, grease or water and dry slippery surfaces.
• Clean around the area to be serviced to minimize
contamination.
Prepare the Machine
Stored energy sources (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic,
pneumatic, chemical, thermal, etc.) must be controlled
or reduced to a practical minimum before performing
any maintenance, repair, or service procedures.
Safety practices to prevent potential injuries from
energy-releasing sources include:
• Place controls in NEUTRAL or LOCKED position
before shutting off engine.
• Set parking brake or block wheels.
• Allow all moving parts to stop.
• Shut off engine.
• Relieve hydraulic system pressure by moving controls
several times in all directions or per manufacturer's
instructions.
WARNING! Unsupported raised machines or other
equipment may drop unexpectedly. Never go under
equipment when raised unless supported by an
approved support device(s). Death or serious crushing
injury could result from falling equipment.
Remove only guards or covers that provide access to
the area being serviced. Replace all broken or missing
guards and covers when work is complete.
WARNING! Avoid injury or death. Never work on
machinery with the engine running unless instructed
by the manufacturer's manuals for specifi c service.

Safety Practices
Use Proper Ventilation
If it is necessary to run an engine in an enclosed area,
remove the exhaust fumes from the area with an
exhaust pipe extension.
If you do not have an exhaust pipe extension, make sure
you open doors and windows to get plenty of outside air
into the area.
WARNING! Exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide which could be deadly if inhaled. Never
operate any type of engine without proper
ventilation. EXHAUST FUMES CAN KILL.
Avoid falls, clean
slippery surfaces
