3 SAFETY
WARNING
California proposition 65
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and some vehicle components contain or release chemicals
known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
WARNING
To prevent injury from the hot oil at high pressure, do not use your hands to check for oil leaks, make
sure that you use paper or cardboard.
Release of hydraulic fluid at high pressure has enough force to enter through the skin. If the fluid enters
through the skin, the fluid must be surgically removed within hours by a specialist doctor or gangrene
may result.
WARNING
When the machine is driven off-road, a seat belt must be worn only when a ROPS frame is in position.
This warning is because a seat belt must be worn with a ROPS to follow the machinery directive,
2006/42/EC sections 3.2.2, seating & 3.4.3, rollover. (ANSI b71.4-2012 section 20.7)
Ransomes Jacobsen Limited recommends that the owner/user of the machine completes a local risk
assessment of the machine to find any conditions that do not follow this rule. e.g. When you drive the
machine next to water or on the highway.
WARNING
Explosive gases are released by batteries. The battery contains corrosive acid and supply an electrical
current that is high enough to cause burn injuries to the body.
WARNING
You must not use this machine to tow other vehicles.
