Cautions
C
CAUTION –
When the vehicle has been running, parts of the vehicle, including the engine and
exhaust, can become extremely hot and can cause serious burns. To avoid burns, allow hot
machine parts to cool before you begin working on them.
C
CAUTION –
The system installation may bring you into contact with chemical substances, such
as oil, which can cause poisoning. Wash your hands thoroughly after you finish working on the
system.
C
CAUTION –
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, which can cause serious illness. To avoid ingesting lead, wash your hands
thoroughly after touching the battery.
C
CAUTION –
Always wear protective equipment appropriate to the job conditions and the
nature of the vehicle. This includes wearing protective glasses when you use pressurized air or
water, and correct protective welder’s clothing when welding. Avoid wearing loose clothing or
jewelry that can catch on machine parts or tools.
C
CAUTION –
Parts of the vehicle may be under pressure. To avoid injury from pressurized parts,
relieve all pressure in oil, air, and water systems before you disconnect any lines, fittings, or
related items. To avoid being sprayed by pressurized liquids, hold a rag over fill caps, breathers,
or hose connections when you remove them. Do not use your bare hands to check for
hydraulic leaks. Use a board or cardboard instead.
C
CAUTION –
Do not direct pressurized water at:
- electronic or electrical components or connectors
- bearings
- hydraulic seals
- fuel injection pumps
- any other sensitive parts or components
Set the hose pressure as low as practicable, and spray at a 45° to 90° angle. Keep the nozzle of
the power washer away from the machine at the distance recommended by the manufacturer.
C
CAUTION –
To avoid malfunctions, or damage to cables:
- route cables away from areas where they may be pinched or rubbed.
- do not alter cable lengths and connections. If you must alter the length of the power cable do
not remove the fuse or fuse holder from the cable.
