Proposition 65 Warning
The machine could fall onto someone and cause serious injury or death.
Read and understand the Operator’s Manual before performing maintenance.
Always park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove the key before performing any maintenance to the machine.
Do not keep the machine raised on the jack for extended periods of time.
Always use a jack on a level surface.
Ensure that the jack is secured properly to the mount.
The jack mount and jack are intended for use with the machine as described in these instructions; other uses may cause unseen damage or failure of the jack.
