Perform only those maintenance instructions described in this manual. If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is desired, contact an authorized Bullseye distributor.
-
Ensure that the machine is in safe operating condition by keeping nuts, bolts, and screws tight.
-
If possible, do not perform maintenance while the engine is running. Keep away from moving parts.
-
Carefully release pressure from components with stored energy.
-
Support the machine with blocks or storage stands when working beneath it. Never rely on the hydraulic system to support the machine.

Never crawl under the attachment. If necessary, tilt the attachment.
-
Ensure that all guards are installed and secured after maintaining or adjusting the machine.

Warning
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury; otherwise, gangrene may result.
-
Keep your body and hands away from pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure hydraulic fluid.
-
Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks; never use your hands.
