SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
E265C-E305C
KEEP CLEAN THE MACHINE
- Keep the machine clean and free of debris,
excess or spilled lubricants, fuel and fluids. Use
approved solvents, detergents and water to
clean the machine and its components on a reg-
ular basis.
- Keep clean the engine compartment, radiator,
batteries, hydraulic pipes, fuel tank and opera-
tor's position.
The engine compartment temperature can
quickly rise, after stopping the engine. Be care-
ful to possible fires.
Open the access doors in order to quicken the
engine cooling process and clean the compart-
ment.
PREVENT ACID SCALDS
The sulfuric acid, contained in the battery, is poison-
ous. It is strong enough to scald the skin, corrode
clothes and cause blindness, if it is sprayed into the
eyes.
To avoid dangers:
- Fill the batteries in airy areas.
- Wear eye protections and rubber gloves.
- Avoid breathing the electrolyte vapours when
topping up.
- Avoid spilling or dripping the electrolyte.
- Use proper emergency starting techniques.
If you are touched with acid sprays:
- Rinse your skin well with water.
- Put on your skin sodium bicarbonate or clay to
help the acid neutralization.
- Rinse your eyes with water for
15
minutes.
- Immediately see a doctor.
