2.8.10 RULES TO BE FOLLOWED DURING
FUEL OR OIL TOPPING UP
• Keep away from naked flames while refuelling or topping up oil.
• Spilled fuel or oil make the ground slippery and may cause acci-
dents; clean any dirty area immediately and carefully.
• Always tighten the fuel tank and the hydraulic circuit oil safety
caps securely.
• Do not use fuel to clean any part of the machine that may be
dirty with oil or dust.
• Always top up the fuel and oil tanks in properly ventilated place
and avoid smoking.
• When refuelling, hold the fuel gun firmly and keep it constantly
in contact with the filler until you have finished, in order to avoid
sparks due to static electricity.
• Do not fill the tank completely, in order to leave room for the fuel
to expand.
2.8.11 CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVEL IN
THE RADIATOR
• Let the engine and the radiator cool down before checking the
coolant level.
• If it is necessary to remove the cap with hot engine, wear suita-
ble clothes and protections and loosen the cap slowly, in order
to gradually release the pressure.
2.8.12 USING LAMPS
• When checking the fuel, oil, coolant or battery electrolyte levels,
always use homologated explosion-proof lamps.
If such lighting equipment is not used, there is danger of fire or
explosion.
