WARNING: Negligence of these instructions can lead to accidents.
1. BASIC PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY
◼
Supplying fuel and oils
•
Spilled fuel or oil will be slippery. Wipe up immediately. Keep the filler caps tight. Do not
use fuel for flushing oil. Handle fuel and oil in a well ventilated area.
◼
Check the coolant level in the radiator.
•
To check the coolant level, shut down the engine and allow the engine and radiator to cool
down.
◼
Illumination
•
For inspecting the level of the fuel, oil, coolant and
battery electrolyte, use burn-proof illuminations. Failure
to use this type of illumination can result in an
explosion.
1.11 During servicing
◼
Keep unauthorized persons away
•
During service, do not allow persons not concerned to
enter the work area, particularly when grinding or
welding operation is performed or heavy hammers are
being used.
◼
Keep your machine clean
•
Spilled oil, grease or scattered debris are dangerous. Always keep your machine clean.
Moisture that penetrates into the electrical system can cause malfunctions. Do not use
water to clean sensors, connectors and the operator's station.
◼
When repairing the electrical system
•
For repairing the electrical system or for conducting
welding, disconnect the negative cable from the
battery to shut off the electricity.
◼
Carefully handle high pressure hoses.
•
Do not try to bend or hit hoses against a hard object. Do not use hoses or pipes that are
bent or damaged. They will burst.
•
Replace damaged fuel hose and hydraulic hoses. An oil or hydraulic fluid spill can cause a
fire.
