SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY 
 
Stop engine, set brake, remove ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before 
servicing, adjusting, repairing, or unplugging.     
Support the equipment with blocks or safety stands before working beneath it. 
Follow good shop practices including: 
keep service area clean and dry 
be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded 
use adequate light for the job 
Use only tools, jacks, and hoists of sufficient capacity for the job. 
Replace and secure all shields removed during serving before operating. 
Use heavy leather gloves to handle sharp objects. 
Check hydraulics regularly for leaks.  Use cardboard to look for leaks, and use hand 
and eye protection. 
Relieve pressure on hydraulic system before repairing or adjusting. 
Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce 
an explosion, which may result in serious injury or death.

SAFETY SIGNS 
 
The following illustration shows the approximate location and detail of safety signs.  
Keep all safety signs clean and legible and replace any that are damaged or missing.  
When original parts are replaced, any safety signs affixed to those parts should be 
replaced as well.  Replacement safety signs are available from your local dealer. 
 
INSTALLATION 
 
To install safety signs, ensure the installation area is clean and dry.  Decide on the 
exact position before you remove the backing paper.  Remove the smallest portion of 
the split backing paper and align over the specified area.  Carefully press in place.  
Slowly peel back the remaining paper and smooth the remaining portion in place.  Small 
air pockets can be pierced with a pin and smoothed out.
