D80 Safety Rules (Rev. 3/23/2007)
Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to
modify or alter the equipment or any of its compo-
nents in any way.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the
ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and
secured. Never place any part of the body under-
neath equipment or between moveable parts even
when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic
system leak down, hydraulic system failures,
mechanical failures, or movement of control levers
can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpect-
edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Oper-
ator's Manual instructions for working underneath
and blocking requirements or have work done by a
qualified dealer.
Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
Make certain all movement of equipment com-
ponents has stopped before approaching for ser-
vice.
Frequently check blades. They should be sharp,
free of nicks and cracks, and securely fastened.
Your dealer can supply genuine replacement
blades. Substitute blades may not meet original
equipment specifications and may be dangerous.
Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-
aged.
Tighten all bolts, nuts and screws to torque
chart specifications. Check that all cotter pins are
installed securely to ensure equipment is in a safe
condition before putting unit into service.
Make sure all safety decals are installed.
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for
location.)
Do not handle blades with bare hands. Careless
or improper handling may result in serious injury.
Explosive separation of tire and rim parts can
cause serious injury or death. Release all air pres-
sure before loosening bolts.

lines to optional cylinder. Disconnect driveline and
