WARNING: Negligence of these instructions can lead to accidents.
■
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.
• Obey all local, state and federal environment
regulations for the proper disposal of oil, fuel, coolant,
battery electrolyte or any other fluids.
■
Take care in handling the gas damper
• Never dismantle it.
• Do not throw it into a fire.
• Do not damage the rod.
• Do not bend the tube or rod, or use it as a handle.
• When disposing of it, be sure to fix the gas damper, and drill a hole around 2 to 3 mm in
diameter, about 20 to 30 mm from the edge on the tube bracket side. Dispose of it after
releasing the gas pressure. When doing this, be sure to wear protective goggles because
of the danger of oil inside or swarfs getting sprayed everywhere by the compressed gas
inside.
■
Exercise extreme care when replacing and repairing tires (Tire installed)
• Disassembly, repair and reassembly of tires require
special facility and knowledge. Have them repaired at
work shop specialized in handling tires.
• An improperly fitted tire can separate from the rim
when inflating.
• 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.

WARNING: Negligence of these instructions can lead to accidents.
■
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, hydraulic hoses and liquid hoses.
An oil, hydraulic and liquid fluid spill can cause a fire.
■
Be careful of high pressure hydraulic fluid
• Bear in mind that the working equipment hydraulic
systems are under internal spressure. Do not perform
adding, draining, inspection or servicing 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
• Do not wear clothing and accessories that tend to 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.
