SAFETY
General Precautions
Exhaust fumes from the engine
can kill
�
Do not operate the engine in an enclosed
area without adequate ventilation.
�
If natural ventilation is poor, install
ventilators, fans, exhaust extension pipes
or other artificial venting devices.
Handling asbestos dust
Inhaling asbestos dust has been linked to
lung cancer. When handling materials which
may contain asbestos, take the following
precautions :
�
Never use compressed air for cleaning.
�
Avoid brushing or grinding of the
materials.
�
For clean up, use wet methods or a
vacuum equipped with a high efficiency
particulate air (HEPA) filter.
�
Wear an approved respirator if there is
no other way to control the dust. When
working indoors, install a ventilation
system with a macro molecular filter.
Be careful not to get crushed or
cut
Your body, hands, feet, or other body parts
must not be inserted between the dump
body and the main frame, or between the
cylinder and the dump body, or other moving
parts. Operation of the dump body under
such circumstances may lead to you getting
caught between the moving parts and can
cause death or serious injury.

installing optional attachments.
�

been approved by Takeuchi or a Takeuchi
dealer. Doing so may compromise safety
or adversely affect the machine’s operation
or service life.
�
Takeuchi will not be held responsible for
any injuries, accidents or damage to its
products caused by the use of a non-
approved attachment.
