WARNING: Negligence of these instructions can lead to accidents.
1. BASIC PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY
◼
Do not use a machine which has not been serviced correctly at regular intervals.
•
Before working, perform necessary inspections. Start operation only after making
certain the machine is in good operating condition. If found to be abnormal, report to the
responsible person and have the fault corrected. Operate the machine after making sure
that it is safe to operate.
◼
Do not allow anyone to enter the work area except for authorized personnel.
•
Always conduct the work paying attention to the
workers around the machine.
◼
Be careful of hot parts.
•
After your machine has operated for some time, the
coolant, engine oil and hydraulic fluid will become hot
and the pressure will build up. If, in this state, you try to
remove the filler caps, drain the oil or replace the filters,
you can get burned. Perform this work in accordance
with the correct procedures with the machine cooled
down.

•
To remove the radiator cap, slowly loosen the cap to
relieve the pressure with the engine shut down and the
coolant cooled down. (For the radiator cap with a lever,
lift the lever to release the trapped pressure.)
•
When removing the filler cap on the hydraulic tank, release the trapped pressure by
turning it out slowly to prevent the oil from gushing out.
•
Do not touch the muffler while the engine is running or immediately after it has been shut
down. You can get burned.
◼
Be careful with fire.
•
The fuel, oil, and anti-freeze will catch fire if open
flames or ignition sources are used close to them.
Particularly, the fuel is highly flammable.
•
Do not smoke or use a match or cigarette lighter
close to inflammables (combustibles).
•
When refueling, stop the engine and do not smoke.
•
The filler caps of the fuel and oil tanks must be kept
tight.
