HYDRAULIC SAFETY
1. Make sure that all components in the hydraulic
system are kept in good condition and are clean.
2. Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened or
crimped hoses and steel lines.
3. Before applying pressure to the system, make
sure all components are tight and that lines,
hoses and couplings are not damaged.
4. Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the
hydraulic lines, fittings or hoses by using tape,
clamps or cements. The hydraulic system oper-
ates under extremely high-pressure. Such
repairs will fail suddenly and create a hazardous
and unsafe condition.
5. Wear proper hand and eye
protection when searching
for a high pressure hydraulic
leak.
Use a piece of wood or
cardboard as a backstop
instead of hands to isolate
and identify a leak.
6. If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream
of hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention immedi-
ately. Serious infection or toxic reaction can
develop from hydraulic fluid piercing the skin sur-
face.
2.5
BATTERY SAFETY
1. Keep all sparks and flames away from batteries,
as gas given off by electrolyte is explosive.
2. Avoid contact with battery electrolyte; wash off
any spilled electrolyte immediately.
3. Wear safety glasses when working near batter-
ies.
4. Do not tip batteries more than 45 degrees to
avoid electrolyte loss.
5. To avoid injury from sparks or short circuit, dis-
connect battery ground cable before servicing
any part of electrical system.
2.6
TIRE SAFETY
1. Failure to follow proper procedures when mount-
ing a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an
explosion which may result in serious injury or
death.
2. Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have
the proper equipment and experience to do the
job.
3. Have a qualified tire dealer or repair service per-
form required tire maintenance.
2.7
REFUELING SAFETY
1. Handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable.
2. Allow engine to cool for 5 minutes before refuel-
ing. Clean up spilled fuel before restarting
engine.
3. Do not refuel the machine
while smoking or when
near open flame or sparks.
4. Fill fuel tank outdoors.
5. Prevent fires by keeping machine clean of accu-
mulated trash, grease or debris.
2.8
STORAGE SAFETY
1. Store The
Chopper
on a firm, level surface.
2. Store the
Chopper
in an area away from human
activity.
3. Do not permit children to play on or around the
stored machine.
4. Make sure the unit is sitting, or blocked up firm
and solid and will not tip or sink into a soft area.
5. Cover with a weather-proof tarpaulin and tie
down securely.
5
HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDE HAZARD
Relieve pressure on systeme before repairing or adjusting.
Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for
leaks. Use wood or cardboard instead of hands.
Keep all compenents in good repair.

WARNING
AVERTISSEMENT
Éiminer toute pression sur le système hydraulique avant
d'effectuer une réparation ou un ajustement.
Toujours porter des gants et des lunettes de sécurité lorsque
vous recherchez une fuite. Utiliser un morceau de bois ou de
carton au lieu de vos mains.
Garder toutes les composantes en bonnes conditions.
