Jacking Instructions
When changing attachments, tires or performing
other service, use correct supports, hoists and
jacks. Make sure machine is parked on a solid,
level surface such as a concrete floor. Prior to
raising machine, remove any attachments that
may interfere with the safe and proper raising of
the machine. Always chock or block wheels. Use
jack stands or other appropriate load holding de-
vices to support the raised machine. If the ma-
chine is not properly supported, the machine
may move or fall, which may result in personal
injury.
