4-2. Refueling Precautions
DANGER
!
When adding fuel,
Do not fill to the rim due to potential spillage.
After adding the fuel, tightly close the tank cap
Check each part to see if it is tightened properly. Vibration causes loosening of bolts, which
results in unexpected serious malfunctions of the machine. Tighten the bolts securely.
Before starting the machine, make sure it is safe to start by checking your surroundings for
people and objects.
Always pay attention to your footing. Work in an area where you can maintain a good
balance of the machine and a safe comfortable posture.
If you notice deterioration of machine operation during your work, stop your work
immediately.
Before moving away from the machine, be sure to turn the engine off. Also when the
machine is transported, stop the engine and close the fuel cock.
For unloading using a crane, a licensed crane operator is needed. An operator should be
qualified for crane and hooking work.
Before lifting, check the machine parts (especially the hook and anti-vibration rubber) for any
damage and loosened or missing bolts.
Take the machine to a clear flat loca-
tion without any combustibles nearby.
Be careful not to spill the fuel. Wipe
well if any spill occurs.
