MAINTENANCE
Provide proper ventilation when operating in a closed building to avoid danger of exhaust gases.
Exhaust gases are dangerous and can cause poisoning, unconsciousness and death.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure from a very small hole can be almost invisible, yet have
sufficient force to penetrate the skin. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for suspected
leaks. Do not use hands. If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or
reaction can occur if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
Wear proper protective equipment such as goggles or safety glasses with side shields, hard hat,
safety shoes and heavy gloves when metal or other particles are apt to fly or fall. Many of
a machine's parts are hardened and can chip.
Lift and handle all heavy parts with a lifting device of proper capacity. Be sure parts are secured by
proper slings and hooks. Use lifting eyes if provided. Warn people in the area to stand clear.
Do not attempt to repair a protective structure after an accident. Repaired structures do not
provide the original strength and protection. Contact your distributor for information on structure
replacement. Do not operate the machine again until the ROPS has been replaced.
Do not cut, grind, weld, drill or tap holes in the ROPS. This could weaken the structure, or affect
the overall energy absorption capabilities.
When using compressed air for cleaning parts, wear goggles or safety glasses with side shields.
Use a nozzle, which limits the pressure to 200 [kPa].
Do not use an open flame to check for leaks or fluid levels anywhere around a machine.
Keep work area clean and dry. Remove oil and water spills immediately.
Do not pile up oily or greasy rags. They are a fire hazard. Store them in an approved, closed metal
container.
Use a soft iron or nonferrous hammer to install or remove ripper teeth. It is dangerous to hammer
on the teeth. Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles to reduce the chances of injury.
Batteries give off a highly inflammable gas. Never allow sparks or open flame near the batteries.
A fire or explosion could occur. Do not charge batteries in a closed area. Provide proper ventilation
to guard against accidental explosion of an accumulation of the explosive gas given off in the
charging process. When installing batteries, be sure the electric master switch is in the "OFF"
position. Be sure to connect the positive cable to the positive terminal and the negative (ground)
cable to the ground of machine.
Ether starting fluid is flammable. Follow the precautions printed on the container. An explosion can
result if sparks or flame contact ether in a container or if a container is stored in an area in which
the temperature exceeds 70 [°C]. Observe the following precautions:
1. Follow the correct method for starting the engine. Refer to "STARTING THE ENGINE" in
Section 4.
2. Do not use the ether injector when the ambient temperature is above freezing.
3. For your own personal safety, always remove the ether container when welding, grinding or
using a torch on the machine.
4. Do not let ether come in contact with your skin, as it can cause local freezing.
