1. BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Negligence of these instructions can lead to accidents.
• Inspect or handle the battery with the engine shut down
and the starter key in the OFF position.
• Keep metallic items such as tools away from the battery
terminals.
• Loose terminals can cause sparks leading to an
explosion. Secure the terminals tightly.
■
Jump-starting the engine
• Wear safety goggles when jump-starting the machine.
• When starting from another machine, do not allow the
two machines to make contact with each other.
• When connecting the battery cables, start with the
positive terminal. For disconnection, start with the
negative one.
• Do not allow a tool to bridge and make a connection
between the positive terminal and machine body. This
can generate dangerous sparks.
• Do not connect the booster cable to wrong terminal. NEVER connect the positive terminal
to the negative.
• Final connection to the engine block of the disabled machine can cause sparks. The
connecting point should be as far as possible from the battery.
1.9 Towing
• To tow the machine, use cables with ample strength.
• Do not perform towing on a slope.
• Do not use twisted, kinked or damaged cables when towing.
• Keep everyone away from the space between the machine and the towing vehicle when
connecting the two.
• Align the connection points of the disabled machine and the towing vehicle in a straight
line when connecting the machines.

1. BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Negligence of these instructions can lead to accidents.
1.10 Before Servicing
■
Attach warning tags when servicing the machine
• Serious accidents can occur if the machine is unexpectedly started or controls carelessly
touched by an unauthorized person.
• Attach a warning tag at a clearly visible location in the operator’s station and insure the key
has been removed from the ignition switch.
DANGER
Do not operate.
Keep this warning tag, if not used, in tool box.
■
Use proper tools
• It is very dangerous to use damaged or deteriorated
tools or to use tools for purposes other than intended.
Use correct tools for their intended use only.
■
Change safety-related parts at regular intervals
• Replace fuel hose and high pressure hydraulic hoses regularly to prevent fire. Replace high
pressure hoses of the power steering system every two years.
☆
Change these parts at regular intervals even if found to be normal. They deteriorate over
time.
☆
Change any hose found to be abnormal even if it is before its recommended service
interval.
■
Inspect or service your machine with the engine stopped
• If required to keep the engine running in such as
when flushing the radiator, perform the work with
two persons. One person should sit on the operator’s
seat ready to shut down the engine if necessary. He
must take care not to touch any of controls carelessly.
Maintenance personnel must exercise extreme caution
not to make contact with moving parts.
