PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY
◼
Be careful of high pressure hydraulic fluid.
•
Bear in mind that the working equipment hydraulic
systems are under internal spressure. Do not perform
a dd in g, d ra in in g, in sp e ctio n o r se rvicin g of the
hydraulic systems until the internal pressure has been
relieved. Hydraulic fluid leaking through a fine hole
at high pressure can penetrate your skin and eyes.
Inspect leakage by holding a hard board close to
suspected leaks wearing goggles. If affected by high
pressure oil, get medical help immediately.
◼
Be careful of hot parts
•
After the machine has been operated for some time,
the coolant, engine oil and hydraulic fluid will become
hot.
•
Removing the radiator cap or draining the coolant
or oil can burn you. Perform this work in accordance
with correct procedures after the systems have cooled
down.
◼
Use care when inspecting or servicing fan or belts in motion
•
Secure loose clothing and keep articles away that
could get caught in moving parts.
•
Do not let your body or tools make contact with the fan
blades or belts. They can be cut seriously.
◼
Used oil disposal
•
Do not throw used oil into a drain or waterway. Drain
the oil from the machine into a proper container. Do not
drain directly on the ground.
•
Ob e y a ll lo ca l, sta te a n d f e d e ra l e n viro n m e n t
regulations for the proper disposal of oil, fuel, coolant,
battery electrolyte or any other fluids.
◼
Exercise extreme care when replacing and repairing tires
•
Disassembly, repair and reassembly of tires require
special facility and knowledge. Have them repaired at
work shop specialized in handling tires.
•
Improperly fitted rim can separate if the tire is inflated.
When inflating tires, do not work in front of the rim. Use
correct inflation pressure.
•
When dismounting a tire, chock other tires for safety.
•
When welding job is carried out near the tires, use
extreme care, as this can cause an explosion of the
tires.
