ALWAYS PRACTICE SAFETY BY THINKING BEFORE ACTION
AVOID FIRE HAZARDS.

All relevant personnel should know how to operate fire fighting equipment.
-Keep a first aid kit in an easily accessible location.
-Do not smoke while handling fuel,or other highly flammable material.
-Do not use an open pail for transporting fuel.
-Use of an approved fuel container.
-Dispose of all fuel-soaked rags in covered containers where cigarettes cannot be dropped
carelessly.
-Do not smoke and avoid open flame when charging,jumping,or boosting batteries.
-Batteries give off gas which is flammable and explosive.
-Do not charge batteries in a closed area. Provide proper ventilation to avoid explosion of
accumulated gases.
Avoid acid burns.
-Wear safety goggles when handling battery electrolyte.It contains sulfuric acid which is a
poison and can cause blindness.Avoid it contacting eyes,skin,or clothing. sulfuric acid will eat
through clothing and can cause severe burns to skin.
AVOID HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDS
1) Before beginning work on hydraulic system components,turn off engine and operate
hydraulic control levers to relieve internal hydraulic pressure.
2) Oil under pressure can penetrate skin and lead to personal injury.Treat sources of oil
pressure with extreme care,wearing safety goggles.
3) If hydraulic leak develops,correct immediately.Escaping hydraulic oil can have extremely
high pressure. A stream of high pressure oil may easily penetrate skin just like modern
needless vaccination equipment,but with the exception that hydraulic fluid may cause blood
poisoning.
It is imperative that connections are tight and that all lines and pipes should be in good
condition.
If injured by escaping hydraulic fluid,see a doctor at once.
