of the travel lever, throttle and parking brake.
■ ALWAYS check
hydraulic oil , engine oil , and fuel levels for
leakage before starting engine.
■ High Temperatures – Always stop engine and allow the
engine to cool before adding fuel, oil or performing service
and maintenance functions. Contact with
hot components can
cause serious burns.
■ NEVER disconnect any "emergency or safety devices".
These devices are intended for operator safety. Disconnection
of these devices can cause severe injury, bodily harm or even
