Before starting a test, repair or rebuild job, the serviceman must read the respective sections of the
Maintenance Manual, and know all the components he will work on.
Your safety, and the safety of others, is at all times very important. When you see this symbol or
this symbol

symbols are warnings. To work safely, you must understand the job you do. Read all instructions to
know what is safe and what is not safe.
It is very important to know the weight of parts. Do not lift heavy parts by hand. Use a hoist. Make sure
heavy parts have a good stability on the ground. A sudden fall can cause an accident. When lifting part of
a machine, make sure the machine has blocks at front and rear. Never let the machine hang on a hoist,
put blocks or stands under the weight.
When using a hoist, follow the recommendation in the manual. Use correct lift tools as shown in
illustrations to get the correct balance of the component you lift. This makes your work safer at all times.
