Safety Precautions
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE SAFETY
Maintenance work can be hazardous if not done in a careful manner. All personnel should
realize the hazards and strictly follow safe maintenance practices. Failure to comply with these
safety precautions may result in serious personal injury and/or death.
•
Use only BOXER supplied or approved replacement parts. Imitation parts may lead to unit
damage and/or injury to personnel. Warranty may be voided if unauthorized parts and are
used.
•
Wear the proper protective clothing and personal safety equipment necessary to perform the
maintenance or service required.
•
Keep the machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.
•
Clean up oil or fuel spillage.
Fuel or oil leaks or spills can create a fire or explosion hazard.
•
Prior to performing maintenance or service, park the unit in a level area away from
obstructions and/or work site hazards.
•
Be sure the area has adequate light and is well ventilated. NEVER operate the machine
inside a closed area.
•
Clean-up any oil, grease, mud, water, or snow which might cause the floor surface to become
slippery.
•
If the machine requires maintenance, take the machine out of service and attach a "Do Not
Operate" tag at the control panel and remove the ignition key.
•
If maintenance or repairs require the boom to be raised, securely support the boom.
•
Know where all pinch points and rotating parts on the unit are. These areas must be avoided
to prevent serious injury.
•
Remove only those guards or covers on the component being serviced and replace them
immediately upon completion of the work.
•
Never attempt to adjust or service engine or machine components while they are hot.

Prior to working on the electrical system:
– Disconnect battery cables, removing the battery ground cable first.
