Safety

------ WARNING! ------

Accidental engine starting can cause injury or death to personnel working on the equipment.

To avoid accidental engine starting, disconnect the battery cable from the negative (−) battery terminal. Completely tape all metal surfaces of the disconnected battery cable end in order to prevent contact with other metal surfaces which could activate the engine electrical system.

Place a Do Not Operate tag at the Start/Stop switch location to inform personnel that the equipment is being worked on.

----------------------

------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury or death can result from improper lifting or blocking.

When a hoist or jack is used to lift any part or component, stand clear of the area. Be sure the hoist or jack has the correct capacity to lift a component. Install blocks or stands before performance of any work under a heavy component.

Approximate weights of the components are shown. Clean all surfaces where parts are to be installed.

----------------------

Rework Procedure

ReferenceRefer to your machine service manual as needed and required during this procedure.

Some of this rework procedure is performed with the wheel saw attached to the skid steer loader. Use safety struts where possible. The weight of the complete wheel saw is approximately 1200 kg (2645 lb). Be sure that any lifting equipment you use is able to lift this weight.
