This symbol and text with bold letters is used throughout this manual t o 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 t o fol low these 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 mechanisms, experi enced
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 an important 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 for dismounting, a lack of barms 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; they could catch on moving parts, which could
result in serious injury or death. Hard hat, sturdy rough-soled work shoes or safety shoes, ear
protectors, reflective clothing, safety glasses and heavy gloves may be required. Consult your
employer for specific saf et y eq uipm ent 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 fire extinguisher proper usage. Recharge immediately af t er use.

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 blade and ripper before making hydraulic adjustments. T o prevent personal injury, be sure
no personnel are standing in the way of the blade and/or ripper 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 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 imm ediately.
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.
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. Warn people in the area to stand clear.
Do not attempt to repair a protective structure after an accident. Repaired structures do not
provide the original strength and protection. Contact your distributor for inf ormation on structure
replacement. Do not operate the machine again until the ROPS has been replaced.
When using com pressed air for cleaning parts, wear gog gles or safety glasses with side shields.
Use a air nozzle, which limits the pressure to 200 kPa.
Do not use an open flame to check f or leaks or fluid levels anywhere around the machine.
Keep work area clean and dry. Remove oil and water spills immediately.
Do not pile up oily or greasy rags. They are a fire hazard. Store them in an approved, closed met al
container.
Use a soft iron or nonferrous hammer to install or rem ove ripper teeth. It is danger ous to hammer
on the teeth. Wear safety glasses with side shields or gogg les t o r educe the chances of injury.
Batteries give off a hig hly inflammable gas. Never allow sparks or open f lam e near the batteries.
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 electrical master switch is in the "o ff" position. Be sure to
connect the positive cable to the positive terminal and the negative (ground) cable t o the negative
terminal.
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 lame contact the ether in t he container or if the container is stor ed in an area in
which the temperature exceeds 70°C. Observe the following precautions:

7. Never puncture the fluid container or put it into a fire. Dispose of empty container pr oper ly.
8. Do not store fluid containers in the operator's com par t ment.
Never mix gasoline, gasohol or alcohol with diesel fuel. This cr eates an extreme fir e 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. WHEN PARKING
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 t raffic.
Park the machine in a non-operating and non-t raf f ic ar ea. Park m achine on level ground whenever
possible. If you must park on a slope, par k at right angles to the slope. Apply and lock t he brake
pedal.
Never leave the machine unattended with the engine running.
When leaving the m achine unattended, slowly lower the hydraulic equipment to the ground, shif t
the transmission into neutral and lock the neutral lock lever, shut of f the eng ine, apply and lock the
parking brake. Relieve any pressure in the hydraulic system by moving the controls in both
directions. Turn off the electrical system master switch and take it out. Always lock up machine
when leaving it unattended, including any anti-vandalism attachments.
Do not jump off t he machine.
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 the machine is to be loaded onto a transport truck and trailer do so carefully. Load only
when the trailer is level. The steel track shoes will slide easily on the t railer. W hen t he machine is
properly positioned chain it securely and block with wooden pieces so it can not move on the
trailer.
Keep your head, body, legs, hand, fingers away from the blade and ripper when they are in a
raised position.
Do not allow the hydraulic system to support the mounted equipment without its proper blocking
when leaving the machine unattended, to eliminate the possibility of an expected drop of the blade
or ripper.
