SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS ON MAINTENANCE
Secure the working equipment
To prevent unexpected movement, firmly
secure the working equipment when
repairing or replacing the bucket teeth or
side cutter.
Secure the engine hood or cover when
opened
Be sure to secure the engine hood or cover
before working the inside. Do not keep the
hood or cover open on a windy day or if the
machine is parked on a slope.
Place heavy objects in a stable position
When it is necessary to temporally place a
heavy object or an attachment on the ground
during removal or installation, be sure to
place it in a stable position. Keep off
unauthorized persons from the storage place
for such object.

Cautions when refueling
• Do not smoke or permit open flames while
fueling or near fueling operations.
• Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel
when the engine is running or still hot. Do
not spill fuel on the hot surface of the
machine.
• Fill the fuel tank in a well ventilated place.
• Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow
room for oil expansion.
• Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
• Securely tighten the fuel filler cap. If the fuel
cap is lost, replace it only with the genuine
cap. Use of a non-approved cap without
proper venting may result in pressurization
of the tank.
• Never use fuel for cleaning.
• Use the correct grade of fuel for the
operating season.
Handling of hoses
Oil leak or fuel leak can cause a fire.
• Do not twist, bend or hit the hoses.
• Never use twisted, bent or cracked pipes,
tubes or hoses; otherwise, they may burst.
• Retighten loose connection.
