SAFETY
Maintenance Precautions
Be careful with hot and
pressurized components
Stop the engine and allow the machine to
cool down before performing inspection
and maintenance.
�
The engine, muffler, radiator, hydraulic
lines, sliding parts and many other parts
of the machine are hot directly after the
engine is stopped. Touching these parts
will cause burns.
�
The engine coolant, oil and hydraulic fluid
are also hot and under high pressure.
Be careful when loosening caps and
plugs. Working on the machine under
these conditions could result in burns or
injuries due to the hot oil spurting out.
Be careful with hot cooling
systems
Do not remove the radiator cap or drain
plugs when the coolant is hot. Stop the
engine, let the engine and radiator cool
and loosen the radiator cap or drain plugs
slowly.
Use caution when fueling
�
Do not smoke or permit open flames
while fueling or near fueling operations.
�
Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with
the engine running or hot. Never allow
fuel to spill on hot machine components.
�
Maintain control of the fuel filler nozzle
when filling the tank.
�
Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow
room for expansion.
�
Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
�
Tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
Should the fuel cap be lost, replace it
only with the original manufacturer’s
approved cap. Use of a non-approved
cap without proper venting may result in
pressurization of the tank.
�
Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
�
Use the correct fuel grade for the
operating season.
Handling of hoses
Fuel, oil or hydraulic fluid leaks can cause
a fire.
�
Do not twist, bend or hit the hoses.
�
Never use twisted, bent or cracked
hoses, tubes and pipes. They may burst.
�
Retighten loose connections.
