ASSEMBLY
• Perform Predelivery Service Safely
CAUTION: Understand the predelivery
procedure before doing the work.
During the assembly, test, and adjustment procedures,
it may be necessary to operate drives and hydraulic
systems. Stay clear of machine elements when raising
or lowering machine and during operation of drivelines.
Practice good communication with other service
technicians. Be aware of their actions and alert them
to potential hazards.
Never lubricate, service, or adjust machine while it
is running. Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from
power-driven or hydraulically operated parts. If it is
necessary to inspect the machine while it is in operation,
be alert to moving parts in the immediate area.
