SAFETY
Periodically replace the safety-critical
parts
• To use the machine safely for a longer
period, periodically add oil and perform
inspection and maintenance. To improving
the safely, replace the safety-critical parts
like hoses and seat belts periodically. Refer
to “List of safety-critical parts” for further
details.
• The “safety-critical parts to be periodically
replaced” are the parts which deteriorate,
wear and fatigue after repeated use and
whose properties change over time. While
these characters of these parts could
cause serious physical or personal
damage, judging the remaining life of these
part are difficult from external inspection or
the feeling when operating.
• Replace the “safety-critical parts to be
periodically replaced” if any defect is found
from external inspection, even when they
have not reached the time specified
interval.
Jump starting with booster cables
• When starting the engine using the booster
cables, be sure to connect the cables in
the proper order described below. Wrongly
connected cables can result in sparking
and battery explosion.
· Do not allow the “machine in trouble” and
“rescue machine” to touch each other.
· Do not allow the positive (+) and negative
(–) clips of the booster cables to touch
each other or to come in contact with the
machine.
· When connecting, attach the positive
booster cable to the positive (+) terminals
first. When disconnecting, remove the
negative cable from the negative (–)
terminal (ground) first.
· Be sure to connect the clips securely.
· Connect the last clip of the booster cable
to a point as far away from the battery as
possible.
• Always wear the protective goggle and
gloves when starting the engine by using
the booster cables.
• Use the booster cables and clips of a size
suited to the capacity of battery. Do not
use damaged or corroded booster cables
and clips.
• Be sure that the battery of the “rescue
machine” has the same capacity as the
battery of the “machine in trouble”.
