SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1B0BF00
Regularly replace the safety-critical parts
• Regularly replace fuel hoses to prevent a fire hazard.
Hoses wear out over time, even if they do not show any
symptom of wear.
• Regardless of the replacement schedule, replace im-
mediately if a symptom of wear is found.
Explosionproof lighting
To prevent an ignition or explosion, use explosion-proof
lights when inspecting fuel, oil, coolant or battery fluid.
Prohibit access by unauthorized persons
Do not allow unauthorized personnel in the work area
while working.
Take particular care that no unauthorized person is pres-
ent when grinding, welding or using a hammer.
Prepare the work area
• Select a level and firm ground on which to perform
maintenance work. Make sure that the work area is
light enough and well ventilated.
• Straighten any obstacle or dangerous object, remove
any spill of oil or grease and clean the work area.
When the canopy is tilted up
• If the canopy is raised or lowered while the engine is
moving, the machine may accidentally start moving,
resulting in severe injury to the maintenance person-
nel. Make sure that the working equipment has been
lowered to the ground and the engine has been turned
off before raising/lowering the canopy.
• When the canopy is tilted up, firmly secure the canopy
with a stopper to prevent it from falling.
Keep the machine clean
• Clean the machine before performing maintenance
and try to keep it clean.
• Before washing, cover the electrical parts with vinyl to
prevent water from entering, as this could cause a
short-circuit or malfunction. Do not use water or steam
to wash the battery, sensors, connectors or the opera-
tor’s seat area.
Stop the engine before performing maintenance
Make sure the engine is stopped before starting inspec-
tion or maintenance. If maintenance must be performed
with the engine running, always work as a 2-person team,
communicating with each other.
• One of them must sit at the operator’s seat and stop
the engine whenever necessary. He/she must take
care not to touch the lever or pedal unless necessary.
• The one who performs maintenance must make sure to
keep his/her body or clothing away from the moving
part of the machine.
