• A battery, especially when charging, will give off
hydrogen and oxygen gases that are very
explosive. Keep away from sparks and naked
flames at all times. To avoid sparks from an
accidental short circuit, always disconnect the
battery ground cable first and always reconnect the
ground cable last.

• Never remove the engine/hydraulic oil plug or the
radiator cap right after the engine has been
stopped, or oil or hot water may gush out. Wait for
the water or oil to cool, loosen the engine/hydraulic
oil plug or radiator cap just a little to release
pressure, and then check the level. Releasing
pressure is especially important for opening the
radiator cap.

• Leaking hydraulic fluid has enough pressure to
penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries.
Leakages from pin holes can be totally invisible. Do
not use the bare hand for checking on possible
leakages. Always use a piece of wood or
cardboard. It is strongly recommended to use a
face mask or eye protection. Should injuries occur
with leaking hydraulic fluid, contact a doctor
immediately. This fluid can cause gangrene or
serious allergic reactions.
