SAFETY

Installation Safety

• Position the machine on even, firmand level ground.

• Lower work equipment to theground and stop engine beforeperforming maintenance. Removemachine key.

• Make sure to lock out hydrauliccontrols and place a “DO NOTOPERATE” Warning Tag on themachine to indicate that machineis being serviced and to preventany unauthorized operation.

• Put blocks under track / wheels toprevent the machine from moving.

• Allow the machine to fully coolbefore servicing.

• Always depressurise hydraulicsystem before servicing.

• Collect and retain all oil releasedfrom system during maintenance.

• Welding or grinding painted partsshould be done in well ventilatedareas.

• Wear a dust mask when grindingpainted parts. Toxic dust and gascan be produced.

• Avoid contact with leakinghydraulic fluid or diesel fuel underpressure. It can penetrate skin oreyes.

• Keep arcs, sparks, flames andlighted tobacco away frombatteries.

• When performing maintenance onmachine, prevent tripping andfalling by keeping area aroundyour feet clean and free of objectsand debris.

SAFETY

Welding and Grinding

Always clean machine andattachment, set battery disconnectswitch to “OFF” position, anddisconnect wiring from electroniccontrollers before welding. Coverrubber hoses, battery and all otherflammable parts. Keep a fireextinguisher near machine whenwelding.

Toxic dust or gas can be producedwhen grinding or welding paintedparts. Grinding or welding paintedparts should be done in a wellventilated area. Wear dust mask whengrinding painted parts.

Dust generated from repairingnonmetallic parts such as hoods,fenders or covers can be flammable orexplosive. Repair such components ina well ventilated area away fromflames or sparks.

Do not weld on lines or on tanks thatcontain flammable fluids. Do not flamecut lines or tanks that containflammable fluid. Clean any such linesor tanks thoroughly with anonflammable solvent before weldingor flame cutting.

QUICK COUPLER HYDRAULIC HOSE / ELECTRICAL HARNESS INSTALLATION

Boom (Without Manifold)

The following is a generic boom hoseinstallation. The images may not showyour machine exactly as it appears butthe procedure is correct for allmachines.

AVOID INJURY OR DEATH

Before installing boom hoses:

• Lower the work equipment to theground.

• Stop the engine and remove thekey.

HIGH PRESSURE FLUID HAZARD

To prevent serious injury or deathfrom high pressure fluid:

• Relieve pressure on systembefore repairing or adjusting.

• Wear proper hand and eyeprotection when searching forleaks. Use wood or cardboardinstead of hands.

• Keep all components in goodrepair.

• Stop the engine and release allhydraulic pressure in the system.

Using one of the twin clamps, markthe shape (1) [Figure 11] of the baseof the clamp at each of the previouslymarked positions on the dipper.

NOTE: Ensure top clamp is locatedto one side and angledslightly to direct hosesalong the side of the boom.

Eye and body protection is requiredwhen grinding or welding. Wearapproved goggles, helmet andclothing. Failure to wear eye and bodyprotection can result in serious injury.

Using a sharp edged tool, scrape offpaint at edges (2) [Figure 11] ofmarked areas to allow good contact tometal for welding of the hose clampbases.

Before welding, disconnect batterycables. Connect the welding groundas close as possible to the area beingwelded.

Figure 12

Position the clamp base plates (1) inthe marked positions. Weld along topand bottom (2) [Figure 12] edges ofthe clamp base plates to secure inposition.
