2.3.16 ALWAYS secure the articulated steering joint using the locking bar
before lifting, jacking, and servicing the machine. Machine halves
could swing together unexpectedly and cause a serious injury.
2.3.17 ALWAYS keep hands, feet and loose clothing away from moving parts.
2.3.18 ALWAYS make sure slings, chains, hooks, ramps, jacks and other
types of lifting devices are attached securely and have enough weight-
bearing capacity to lift or hold the machine safely. Always remain
aware of the location of other people around when lifting the machine.
2.3.19 Before you start the machine, ensure that all tools have been removed
from the machine and that replacement parts and adjusters are firmly
tightened.
2.3.20 DO NOT open hydraulic lines or loosen hydraulic connections while
engine is running! Before dismantling hydraulic connectors or hoses,
ensure that all pressure has been bled from the circuit. Hydraulic fluid
under pressure can penetrate the skin, cause burns, blind, or create
other potentially dangerous hazards. Set all controls in neutral, and
turn engine off and allow fluids to cool before loosening hydraulic
fittings or attaching test gauges.
2.3.21 Fluid leaks from small holes are often practically invisible. DO NOT use
your bare hands to check for leaks. Check for leaks using a piece of
cardboard or wood.
