SAFETY
Beware of Exhaust Fumes

Prevent asphyxiation. Engine exhaust fumes can cause
sickness or death.

If you must operate in a building, be sure there is
adequate ventilation. Either use an exhaust pipe
extension to remove the exhaust fumes or open doors
and windows to bring enough outside air into the area.

White smoke may be generated during aftertreatment
device regeneration. Do not attempt to do aftertreatment
device manual regeneration in a badly ventilated indoors.
Precautions for Welding and Grinding

Welding may generate gas and / or small fires.

Be sure to perform welding in a well ventilated and
prepared area. Store flammable objects in a safe place
before starting welding.

Only qualified personnel should perform welding.
Never allow an unqualified person to perform welding.

Grinding on the machine may create fire hazards. Store
flammable objects in a safe place before starting grinding.

After finishing welding and grinding, recheck that there are
no abnormalities such as the area surrounding the welded
area still smoldering.
Avoid Heating Near Pressurized Fluid Lines

Flammable spray can be generated by heating near
pressurized fluid lines, resulting in severe burns to yourself
and bystanders.

Do not heat by welding, soldering, or using a torch near
pressurized fluid lines or other flammable materials.

Pressurized lines can be accidentally cut when heat goes
beyond the immediate flame area. Install temporary
fire-resistant guards to protect hoses or other materials
before engaging in welding, soldering, etc..
