8. Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not
inflate tires above the recommended pressure shown
in the operator's manual.
9. To avoid short-circuiting the battery, always remove
the ground cable first and attach the positive cable
first.
10.Oil under high pressure can penetrate the skin and
may be harmful to your health if not treated
immediately.
11.Leaking hydraulic fluid has enough pressure to
penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries.
Leakages from pinholes can be totally invisible. Do not
use hands for checking for leaks. 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 fluid, contact a doctor immediately.
This fluid can cause gangrene or serious allergic
reactions. Never repair the hydraulic and air-
conditioner hoses until the pressure has been
relieved.
12.To avoid environmental damage from acid and heavy
metals, dispose of the battery appropriately.
13.Observe all laws and regulations concerning the
disposal of used oil, coolants, solvents, hydraulic
fluids, battery acids and batteries.
14.To avoid fire, do not heat the hydraulic components
(tanks, pipes, hoses, cylinders) before they have been
drained and washed.
15. Use a face mask or eye protection to protect the eyes
and respiratory system against dust and other foreign
particles.
16. Securely support the machine with stands or suitable
blocking before working underneath. For your safety,
do not work under any hydraulically supported
devices. They can settle, suddenly leak down, or be
accidentally lowered.
17. Always attach a "DO NOT OPERATE" tag whenever
performing any kind of maintenance or repair.
18. Make sure you have the proper tools on hand. Do not
use defective or damaged tools, gauges, or other
devices. Always use tools that are appropriate for the
task to be done.
19. To prevent personal injury or death, be sure to use
explosion-proof lighting when working on, inspecting
or handling fuel, oil, coolant, battery fluid, etc. If the
explosion-proof lighting is not used and should break,
it can ignite and cause fire, injury or death.
20. Prohibit unauthorized persons from entering the work
area to prevent injury caused by debris flying off of
machine parts during grinding, welding, using a
hammer or other such tasks.
21. Make sure work area is clear and safe. Be sure to work
on a firm, level surface with adequate lighting. Work in
well-ventilated area if indoors. Make sure the area is
free from any potentially dangerous conditions such as
obstacles, slippery surfaces, etc.
22. Be sure the machine is clean and free of debris.
A
Always remove debris from the machine and clean it
before performing any maintenance or repair work.
A Before using water to wash or clean the machine, stop
engine and make sure all electrical parts and devices
are covered. Any water seepage into electrical wiring
on the machine can cause a short circuit or
malfunction of controls. Never wash the battery,
sensors, connectors or operator's cabin with water or
steam.
