The safety-alert symbol (Figure 1) shown in this manual and on the machine identifies important safety messages that you must follow to prevent accidents.

Figure 1

Safety-alert symbol

The safety-alert symbol appears above information that alerts you to unsafe actions or situations and is followed by the word DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

This manual uses two other words to highlight information. Important calls attention to special mechanical information and Note emphasizes general information worthy of special attention.

1. Park the machine on a level surface.

2. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, and move the motion-control levers outward to the NEUTRAL-LOCK position.

3. Shut off the engine and remove the key.

   Warning

   Mechanical or hydraulic jacks may fail to support the machine and cause serious injury.

   Use jack stands when supporting the machine.

4. Raise the front of the machine so that the casters are off the ground. Support the machine using jack stands.

   Note: Use jack stands rated for your machine. Refer to the Operator’s Manual for your machine to determine the weight.
