• Call a physician.
• While transporting or waiting for medical
attention, apply compresses of iced water or
immerse affected area in iced water. DO NOT
ALLOW SKIN TISSUE TO FREEZE.
• Do not apply creams or ointments until you have
been seen by a physician.
If acid is swallowed:
• Do NOT induce vomiting.
• Drink large amounts of water.
• Seek medical attention immediately!
• Do not neutralize the acid.
If fumes are inhaled:
• Move the person into fresh air.

is able to breath on their own.
• Give CPR only if there is no breathing and no
pulse.
• Seek medical attention immediately!
Safe Hydraulic Maintenance
•
Always practice personal safety when
performing service or maintenance on the
hydraulic system.
•
Use caution when working around
hydraulic fluid under pressure. Escaping
fluid can have sufficient force to penetrate
your skin, possibly resulting in serious
injury. This fluid may also be hot enough
to burn.
•
Always lower the load or relieve the
pressure before repairing a hydraulic oil
leak.
Beware of Exhaust Fumes
•
Never run the machine in a closed
building. Proper ventilation is required.
Use an exhaust pipe extension to remove
fumes if you must operate in a building.
Also, open doors and windows to bring in
enough outside air into the area.
General Maintenance Safety
•
Turn off engine before checking,
adjusting, repairing, lubricating, or
cleaning any part of the machine.
•
When servicing the radiator, let the engine
cool before removing pressurized cap.
•
Disconnect battery ground cable and turn
the Battery Disconnect Switch OFF
before servicing the electrical system or
welding on the machine.
•
When charging the battery, connect the
positive cable to the positive terminal and
the negative cable to the negative
terminal. Failure to comply may result in
an explosion and cause injury.
•
Never pressurize suspension air bags
over 100 psi (6.9 bar).
SEAT BELT
For your safety, wear seat belt at all times
when operating the machine.
