WORK SAFELY – FOLLOW THESE RULES
This symbol and text with bold letters is used throughout this manual to call
your attention to instructions concerning your personal safety. Observe and
follow these instructions. Be certain anyone operating and servicing this
machine is aware of these rules. Fail ure to foll ow t hese rules may result in injury
or death.
WARNING!: The machine can only be operated by a person who is familiar with
this manual, knows operation of the machine and its mechani sms, experienced
and properly licensed to operate such machines. Carefully observe and follow all
instructions provided in this manual.
The instructions and information given in this section do not cover all you ought to k now to operate
the machine safely. Detailed instructions regarding operational safety appear in the following
sections of this manual.
Human error is a contributing factor in most equipment -related injuries. Haste, carelessness and
lack of training are the primary causes of injuries.
Most operating injuries occur because of excessive speed, loss of control, failure to observe
warning signs, slipping or falling while entering or dismounting, a lack of bars on roadways or
piles, lack of a ROPS or seat belt , or not watching in the direction of travel.
Most maintenance injuries occur during welding or when using hammer s or wrenches. The most
common faults are improper work posit ion, a slipped tool, missed aim, a broken tool, f lying chips
and no welding hood.
Think before you act. A careful operator or maintenance man is the best insurance against an
accident.
Always wear proper safety equipment. Avoid wearing jewelry and loose fitting clothing; t hey could
catch on moving parts, which could result in serious injury or death. Hard hat, sturdy roug h-soled
work shoes or safety shoes, ear protectors, ref lective clothing, safety glasses and heavy gloves
may be required. Consult your employer for specific safety equipment requirements.
Each job site and application may have personal safety requirements. Carefully evaluate your
particular application and machine for equipment such as heater and defroster, all windshield
wipers, warning lights, side view and rearview mirrors, back-up alarms, fire extinguisher, rotat ing
beacons and additional lights. If in doubt, contact your distributor.
The machine should be equipped with a fully charged fire extinguisher. All personnel should be
instructed in proper usage. Recharge immediately after use. A dry powder fire extinguisher is
placed in the cab on the right hand side of the operator’s seat (Grammer seat, Fig. 2.1). It is
placed in a holder preventing uncontrolled movement during machine operation. In case of a f ire
the extinguisher can be easily removed from the holder. The extinguisher is provided with a label

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL
Fig. 2.1. Fire Extinguisher Location
Do not jump on or off the machine. Keep two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand in
contact with the steps and grab handles and rails at all times.
Electrical system is 24-volt negative ground. Each machine is equipped with a starting receptacle.
It should be used when starting the machine using booster bat teries. In case the receptacle cannot
be used the following precautions must be taken to minimize chances of injury or damage to
electrical parts.
1. Turn the system master switch to the OFF posit ion.
2. At tach one end of the jumper cable to the positive ter minal of the booster bat ter y and the other
end to the positive terminal of the m achine bat tery.
3. Attach one end of the second cable to the negative terminal of the booster battery and the
other end to the machine's frame away from the battery.
4. To remove the cables, reverse the above sequence exactly to avoid sparks near the batt er y.
A frozen battery can explode when the booster cables are attached.
NEVER check battery charge by placing a metal object across the battery posts. Sparks can
cause an explosion. Use a voltmeter or hydrometer for checking.
Each new machine is equipped with a fire extinguisher, first aid kit and safety belt.
2.2. BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
The operator must be alert, physically fit and free from the influences of alcohol, drugs or
medications that might affect his eyesight, hearing, r eact ions or j udgment.
Observe and know the use of alternative exits from the operator compartment.
Safety must always be the operator's most impor tant concern. He must ref use to operat e when he
knows it is unsafe and consult his supervisor when safety is in doubt. T he best safety device is
a safe operator.
Do not use controls or hoses as hand holds when climbing on or off the machine. Hoses and
controls can move and do not provide solid support. Movement of the controls may cause
inadvertent and unexpected movement of the machine or its equipment.
Follow all machine-mounted safety signs before starting, operating, maintaining or servicing the
machine.
Be sure the area of the operator 's compartment, all mounting steps and grab handles are f ree of
oil, grease, loose objects, ice and m ud to lessen the possibility of slipping. Remove or secure all
maintenance and personal items so they will not interfer e with the operator or jam the controls.
Perform a visual check of the machine before starting the engine. Look for such things as
improper fluid levels, oil leaks, and loose, damaged or missing parts. Do not star t the engine until
any unsafe conditions are corrected. Secure all caps and filler plugs.
Know and understand the traffic f low patter ns of your job and obey flagman, signs and signals.
Before entering the oper ator's com partment, clear the imm ediate area surr ounding the machine of
personnel and obstructions. Walk completely around the machine. After entering the operator's
compartment, sound the horn to clear t he immediate area of the machine.
Due to the danger of fire and explosion, never check or fill fuel tank or batteries near lighted
smoking materials or open flame or sparks.
2.3. OPERATION
Check work area for hazardous conditions. Be alert for soft ground conditions, especially when
working on slopes, near drop-offs or excavations or fill material, which could lead to sudden tipping
of the machine.
At night and times of poor visibility, carefully check the work area before moving in with the
machine. Use all lights provided.
Keep the windshield, windows and mirrors (if equipped) clean.
Before starting the engine, be sure you understand all control functions. Check all controls,
including the brakes, decelerator, steering and tr ansmission. Check all gaug es, warning light s and

functions.
If the machine is ROPS equipped, for your personal protection, wear your seat belt. Bef ore driving
the machine, adjust the seat and f asten the seat belt. Adjust the seat belt to fit snugly and f low
around the hips to lessen the chance and severity of injury in the event of an accident. Never wear
the seat belt across the abdomen.
Check overhead clearance carefully before operating the machine in areas with low overhead
clearance, such as guy wires, power lines, bridges, low-hanging tree branches and building
entrances or exits. These overhead obstructions could cause an accident.
After starting the engine, but before moving the machine, warn nearby personnel by giving
a couple of short horn blasts.
Be sure that the rear screen is securely fastened to the ROPS structure before operating the
winch. Operating without properly installed screen could result in serious injuries. Operate the
winch from the driver’s seat only. Always engage the parking brake before winching, if the
machine is stopped. Use caution when installing or removing cable from the winch. Keep all
persons clear of a cable under tension. Never use a cable that is damaged. Failure to follow these
precautions could result in serious injuries.
Never mix gasoline, gasohol and/or alcohol with diesel fuel. This pr actice creates an extreme fire
hazard and under certain conditions an explosion, which could result in personal injury or death.
Do not smoke when refueling or ser vicing the machine. A fire could result.
Never place gasoline or diesel fuel in an open pan.
Never remove the fuel tank filler cap or refill the f uel tank while the engine is running or hot or when the
machine is indoors. Fumes are dangerous, a spark or flame could result in a fire or explosion.
On machines equipped with a suction fan or a reversible f an in the suction position, periodically
check the engine exhaust system for leak s. Exhaust gases are dangerous to the operator.
Do not operate the machine in the condition of extreme fatigue or illness.
Be sure that the rear screen is securely fastened to the RO PS structure. Be sure chains or cables and
their anchor points are strong enoug h to handle the expected load. Inspect carefully f or flaws before
using.
Always wear gloves when handling cables and chains. Avoid looping or knotting a cable or chain.
Do not pull with kinked chain or cable as excessively high stress in the area of bending may
cause a failure in the kinked area. Cables or chains for towing or winching should be fast ened to
the designated to this purpose attachment points only. Be sure the pins are attached securely
before pulling. Stand clear of chains or cables under load.
Keep the engine exhaust system and exhaust manifold clear of combustible material for your
personal protection.

OPERATION
When leaving a machine unat tended fo r any length of time, m ake sure t he transmission shift lever
is positioned and locked in neutral (N), the blade is com pletely lowered, t he eng ine is st opped, t he
parking brake is applied, and t he electric master switch is in the “off” position. If the machine is
equipped with a cab make sure that the cab is locked.
Before operating a machine read and know the Operator’s Manual and all Safety Product Graphic.
The roll-over protective structure (ROPS) provides the operator’s protection in the event of
machine rollover or upset. This structure is designed to bend during a rollover to protect the
operator from sudden impact loads.
When operating a machine, look in the intended direction of travel to be sure personnel or allied
equipment does not interf er e with the m achine work pat tern.
Never try to get on or off a machine while it is moving. A serious injury or death could result.
Never shift the transmission into neutral (N) when traveling downhill. The machine may go out of
control and a rollover could result or the transmission, torque converter or engine could be
damaged when the transmission is again placed in gear. Always put the transmission in low rang e
position before starting downhill. Use the deceler ator and brake pedal to slow the machine.
Avoid side hill travel whenever possible. Drive straight up and down the slope. If the machine
starts slipping sideways on a grade, turn downhill immediately.
If possible avoid crossing obstacles such as ridges, rocks or logs. If you can't avoid them , reduce
speed and ease over the obstacle at an angle.
Machine's weight and the vibration it creates can cause the edge of a hig h wall to collapse. Keep
your machine back from the edges of banks and excavations. If it cannot be avoided drive the
machine at the straight ang le t o the edge.
Travel slowly in congested areas or on rough ground, slopes or near drop-of fs or on snow, ice or
slippery surfaces.
Maintain a safe distance between your machine and other vehicles according to the condition of
the road and load.
Never hold the hydraulic controls in their extreme position after the equipment has reached its
maximum travel. This could cause overheating of t he hydraulic system.
Do not adjust the seat position while the machine is in motion. A loss of control may result.
Completely stop the machine, apply and lock the parking brake and then adjust the seat.
Never use the blade as a brake except in an emergency.

Trained personnel in machine operation and their helper s only are allowed to take t he operator' s
seat while doing maintenance or repairs on a machine. Authorized personnel only is allowed to
control, maintain or repair a m achine.
Do not hasten. It may cause accidents.
Put objects onto a machine standing on t he level ground before you climb on the machine.
Loosen the radiator cap slowly to relieve all pressure in the system and use caution when
removing the cap to prevent possible injury.
Have all equipment resting on the gr ound or blocked before removing any hydraulic component.
Actuate the control levers in opposite directions t o r elieve all pressur e from the system.
Never work beneath a blade or ripper without proper blocking. Improper blocking could result in
serious injuries.
When service or maintenance requires access to areas that cannot be r eached from the ground,
use a ladder or platform. If such ladders or platform s are not available, use the machine’s hand
holds and steps provided. Perfor m all ser vice or m aintenance carefully.
Use only approved parts for repairs and maintenance shown in your parts catalog . Failure to do so
could compromise your personal safety and machine’s performance and reliability.
Never align holes with fingers or hands. Use a proper aligning tool.
Be sure all tools are in good condition. Do not use tools which are worn, bent or have
mushroomed heads. Use the proper tool for the job. Remove sharp edges and burrs from
reworked parts.
For field service, move the machine to the level gr ound, if possible and block the tracks . If work is
absolutely necessary on an incline, block the machine and its attachments securely. Move the
machine to the level ground, as soon as possible.
Before working on a machine, turn OFF the electric system master switch and tak e the key out so
no one will start it unexpectedly.
Do not carry loose objects in your pockets that m ight catch on the machine or f all unnoticed into
open compartments.
Before working on any part of t he engine or electric system, disconnect the bat tery ground cable.
Tag the cable and all controls to alert per sonnel that work is in progress.
When it is necessary to make any checks or adjustments with the eng ine running, always use two
people. One trained person must be in the operat or's seat to saf eg uard t he second person mak ing
the checks or adjustments.
As an additional precaution, when making checks or adjustment s with the engine running, make
sure the transmission shift lever is lock ed in neutral (N), and the parking br ake is locked.

If the engine is running and t he side doors are open or r emoved be careful of rotating parts such
as the fan and belts that can cause serious injur y.
Never operate the engine when cleaning or lubricating the machine. Serious injury could result
from contacting moving part s .
Use a non-toxic, nonflammable commercial solvent f or cleaning parts. Never use gasoline, diesel
fuel, kerosene or other flammable solvents for cleaning a part .
Excessive or repeated skin contact with sealant or solvents may cause skin irritation. In case of
skin contact, remove sealant or solvent promptly by washing with soap and water. Follow the
manufacturer’s advice whenever cleaning agents or other chem icals ar e used.
Lower the blade and/or the ripper before making hydraulic adjustments. To prevent personal
injury, be sure the personnel are standing out of the way of the blade when it is being lowered.
Never allow anyone to walk under or be near unblocked raised equipment.
Provide proper ventilation when operating in a closed building to avoid danger of exhaust gases.
Exhaust gases are dangerous and can cause poisoning, unconsciousness and death.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure from a very small hole can be almost invisible, yet have
sufficient force to penetrate the skin. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for suspected
leaks. Do not use hands. If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or
reaction can occur if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
Wear proper protective equipment such as goggles or saf ety glasses with side shields, hard hat,
safety shoes and heavy gloves when metal or other particles are apt to fly or fall. Many of
a machine's parts are hardened and can chip.
Lift and handle all heavy parts with a lifting device of pr oper capacit y. Be sure parts ar e secured by
proper slings and hooks. Use lif t ing eyes if provided. W ar n people in the area to stand clear.
Do not attempt to repair a ROPS pr otective structur e aft er an accident. Repair ed structures do not
provide the original strength and protection. Contact your distributor for infor mation on structure
replacement. Do not operate the machine again until the ROPS has been replaced.
Do not cut, grind, weld, drill or tap holes in the ROPS. This could weaken the st ructure, or affect
the overall energy absorption capabilities.
When using com pressed air for cleaning parts, wear gog gles or safety glasses with side shields.
Use a nozzle, which limits the pressure to 200 [kPa].
Do not use an open flame to check f or leaks or fluid levels anywhere around a machine.
Keep work area clean and dry. Remove oil and water spills immediately. Do not pile up oily or
greasy rags. They are a fir e hazard. St or e them in an approved, closed metal container.
Use a soft iron or nonferrous hammer to install or rem ove ripper teeth. It is danger ous to hammer
on teeth. Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles to r educe t he chances of injury.
Batteries give off a highly inflamm able gas. Never allow sparks or open flame near the batter ies.
A fire or explosion could occur. Do not charge bat t eries in a closed area. Provide proper ventilation
to guard against accidental explosion of an accumulation of the explosive gas given off in the
charging process. When installing batteries, be sure the electric master switch is in the "OFF"
position. Be sure to connect the positive cable to the positive terminal and the neg ative (ground)
cable to the ground of the ma chine.

MAINTENA NCE
Ether starting fluid is f lam mable. Follow the precaut ions print ed on the cont ainer. An explosion can
result if sparks or f lam e contact et her in a cont ainer or if a container is st ored in an area where t he
temperature exceeds 70 [°C]. Observe the following precautions:
1. Follow the correct method for starting the engine. Refer to "STARTING THE ENGINE", Section
4.
2. Do not use the ether injector when the ambient tem perature is above freezing.
3. For your own personal safety, always remove the ether container when welding, grinding or
using a torch on a machine.
4. Do not let ether come in contact with your skin, as it can cause local freezing.
5. Do not breathe in hazardous ether vapor.
6. Keep a fluid container out of reach of children.
7. Never puncture a fluid container or put it int o fire. Dispose of an empty container pr oper ly.
8. Do not store fluid containers in the operat or's compartment.
Never mix gasoline or alcohol with diesel fuel. This creates an extreme f ire or explosion hazard,
which could result in personal injury or death.
Do not use bleach, color dye or solvents on the seat belt webbing. This m ay cause a severe loss
of tensile strength. This could cause the webbing to break resulting in personal injury. It is
recommended that the seat belt be cleaned only with warm water and mild deterg ent .
2.5. SHUTDOWN
If parking on or near traff ic lanes cannot be avoided, provide appropriat e flag s, barriers, flares and
warning signals. Also provide advance-warning signals in the traffic lane for approaching traffic.
Park the machine in a non-operating and non-traffic area. Park the machine on level ground
whenever possible. If you must park on a slope, park at the right angle to the slope. Apply and lock
the brake pedal.
Never leave a machine unattended with the engine running.
When leaving a machine unat tended, slowly lower the hydraulic equipment to t he ground, shift the
transmission into neutral and lock the neutral lock lever, shut off the engine, apply and lock the
parking brake. Relieve any pressure in the hydraulic system by moving the controls in both
directions. Turn off the electric system master switch and take the key out. Always lock up the
machine when leaving it unattended, including any anti-vandalism attachment s.
Do not jump off a m achine.
When operating in bad weather and storm lightening is nearby, dismount and seek shelter away
from the machine. Lightening will be attracted to the machine and can cause serious injury or
death.
When a machine is to be loaded onto a transpor t truck and t railer do so caref ully. Load only when
the trailer is level. The steel track shoes will slide easily on the trailer. When the machine is
properly positioned chain it securely so it can not move on the trailer.
Keep away your head, body, feet, hands and fingers fr om a blade or ripper when they are in a
raised position.
