Wear gloves, eye protection, long pants,
substantial slip-resistant footwear, and hearing
protection during operation or while adjusting or
repairing the machine. Tie back hair and do not
wear loose jewelry.

After striking a foreign object, shut off the engine,
remove the key, thoroughly inspect the attachment
for any damage, and repair the damage before
starting and operating the attachment.
•
Always lower the attachment each time you shut
off the machine or leave the operating position.

Clean any dirt or debris that may hinder connecting
the attachment to the machine. Ensure that the
attachment-locking pins are fully seated in the
holes of the attachment-mount plate. Refer to the
Operator's Manual for the machine for detailed
information on safely connecting an attachment to
your machine.
•
When lifting the attachment keep it level and
prevent the load from spilling backward.
Maintenance and Storage

Check fasteners at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to ensure that the equipment is in safe
operating condition.

Refer to the Operator's Manual for important
details if you store the attachment for an extended
period of time

Before Digging

To prevent damage and disruption to underground
pipe and cable networks in your proposed excavation
site, contact the Dial Before You Dig service. You
can dial 1100 to access plans for underground
networks anywhere in Australia. You may also log
onto www.dialbeforeyoudig.com.au for additional
information.
Remember, everyone has a Duty of Care to locate
underground pipes and cables before digging or
excavating.
Digging or excavating without first dialing 1100 could
lead to injury or death to you and bystanders. It could
also lead to costly disruption of essential services and
financial penalties.
