Fire Extinguisher
Have
a fire extinguisher-type BC and 1.5KG
minimum capacity-on rear overhead guard leg with
latch and know how to use it. Inspect and have it
serviced
as recommended on its instruction plate.
Ether
Ether is poisonous and flammable.
Breathing ether vapors or repeated contact of ether
with skin can cause personal injury.
Use ether only in well-ventilated areas.
Do not smoke while changing ether cylinders.
Use ether with care to avoid fires.
Do not store replacement ether cylinders in living
areas or in the operator's compartment.
Do not store ether cylinders in direct sunlight or at
temperatures above 39°C (102°F).
Discard cylinders in a safe place. Do not puncture
or burn cylinders.
Keep ether cylinders out of the reach of
unauthorized personnel.
Lines, Tubes and Hoses
Do not bend or strike high pressure lines. Do not
install bent or damaged lines, tubes or hoses.
Repair any loose or damaged fuel and oil lines,
tubes and hoses. Leaks can cause fires. Contact
your DAEWOO dealer for repair or replacement.
Check lines, tubes and hoses carefully. Do not use
your bare hand to check for leaks. Use a board or
cardboard to check for leaks. See Fluid Penetration
in the Safety Section for more details. Tighten all
connections to the recommended torque. Replace if
any of the following conditions are found.
z
End fittings damaged or leaking.
z
Outer covering chafed or cut and wire reinforcing
exposed.
z
Outer covering ballooning locally.
z
Evidence of kinking or crushing of the flexible
part of hose.

z
End fittings displaced.
Make sure that all clamps, guards and heat shields
are installed correctly to prevent vibration, rubbing
against other parts, and excessive heat during
operation.
Tire Information
Explosions of air-inflated tires have resulted from
heat-induced gas combustion inside the tires. The
heat, generated by welding or heating rim
components, external fire, or excessive use of
brakes can cause gaseous combustion.
A tire explosion is much more violent than a
blowout. The explosion can propel the tire, rim and
axle components as far as 500 m (1500 ft) or more
from the lift truck. Both the force of the explosion
and the flying debris can cause personal injury or
death, and property damage.
Do not approach a warm tire closer than the
outside of the area represented by the shaded area
in the above drawing.
