FUEL, OIL AND HYDRAULIC FLUID FIRE
HAZARDS
Fuel, oil and antifreeze will catch fire if it is
brought close to a flame. Fuel is particularly
flammable and can be hazardous.
Always strictly observe the following.
Add fuel, oil, antifreeze and hydraulic fluid to the
machine only in a well-ventilated area. The
machine must be parked with controls, lights
and switches turned "OFF." The engine must be
"OFF" and any flames, glowing embers,
auxiliary heating units or spark-causing
equipment must be doused, turned off and/or
kept well clear of the machine.
Static electricity can produce dangerous sparks
at the fuel filling nozzle. In very cold, dry
weather or other conditions that could produce a
static discharge, keep the tip of the fuel nozzle
in constant contact with the neck of the fuel
filling nozzle, to provide a ground.
Keep fuel and other fluid reservoir caps tight and
do not start the engine until caps have been
secured.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING FLUIDS
AT HIGH TEMPERATURE
Immediately after operations are stopped, the
coolant, engine oil, and hydraulic oil are at high
temperature and the radiator and hydraulic tank
are still under pressure. Attempting to remove
the cap, drain the oil or coolant, or replace the
filters may lead to serious burns. Always wait for
the temperature to go down, and follow the
specified procedures when carrying out these
operations.
To prevent hot coolant from spurting out, stop
the engine, wait for the coolant to cool, then
loosen the cap slowly to relieve the pressure.
To prevent hot oil from spurting out, stop the
engine, wait for the oil to cool, then loosen the
cap slowly to relieve the pressure.
