1. BASIC PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY
– 18 –
■
Inspect or service your machine with the engine stopped
• If required to keep the engine running in such a case as radiator
interior cleaning, perform the work with two persons. One of
them should sit on the operator’s seat getting ready for shutting
down the engine.He must take care not to touch any of controls
carelessly. Maintenance personnel must exercise extreme
caution not to make contact with moving parts.
■
Supplying fuel, oils and grease
• Do not cover the filler port when refueling. Feeding fuel in an airtight tank might damage
the fuel tank.
• 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, stop the engine and allow the engine and radiator to cool
down before removing the radiator cap. Remove the cap by covering it with a rag before
removing to prevent any fluid that could spray under pressure from causing a burn.
■
Illumination
• For inspecting the level of the fuel, oil, coolant and
battery electrolyte, use explosion-proof illuminations.
Failure to use this type of illumination can result in an
explosion.
■
Make sure the gas dampers are properly maintained
• Before inspecting the engine room, make sure the gas dampers holding up the hood are
firmly engaged. Furthermore, in machines with stays to prevent the hood from closing,
make sure they are firmly in place.
WARNING: Negligence of these instructions can lead to accidents.
