SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before You Operate
NOTICE
NOTICE
• Never permit anyone to operate the
engine or driven machine without
proper training.
• Read and understand this Operation Manual
before you operate or service the machine to
ensure that you follow safe operating practices
and maintenance procedures.
• Machine safety signs and labels are additional
reminders for safe operating and maintenance
techniques.
• See your Isuzu Distributor for additional training.
During Operation and Maintenance
DANGER
Scald Hazard!
• Never remove the radiator cap if
the engine is hot. Steam and hot
engine coolant will spurt out and
seriously burn you. Allow the
engine to cool down before you
attempt to remove the radiator
cap.
• Tighten the radiator cap securely after you
check the radiator. Steam can spurt out during
engine operation if the cap is loose.
• Always check the level of the engine coolant
by observing the reserve tank.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.
DANGER
Explosion Hazard!
• Keep the area around the battery
well-ventilated. While the engine
is running or the battery is
charging, hydrogen gas is
produced which can be easily
ignited.
• Keep sparks, open flame and any other form
of ignition away while the engine is running or
battery is charging.
• Never short out the battery terminals,
including when checking the remaining
battery charge. This will result in a spark and
may cause an explosion or fire. Use a
hydrometer to check the remaining battery
charge.
• If the electrolyte is frozen, slowly warm the
battery before you recharge it.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.
Sudden Movement Hazard!
• Never start the engine by
shorting out the starter terminal
and the battery terminal
(Jump-start). The machine may
move suddenly if the machine
safety circuit is released, but
the gear is still engaged.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.
