2.10 Refueling Safety
1.
Engine fuel is highly flammable. Handle with care.
2.
Fill fuel tank outdoors.
3.
Stop the engine before refueling. Allow engine to
cool for five minutes. Clean up spilled fuel before
restarting engine.
4.
Do not overfill the fuel tank.
5.
If fuel is spilled, wipe it away carefully and wait until
the fuel has dried before starting the engine.
6.
Do not refuel the machine while
smoking or when near open flame
or sparks.
7.
After refueling, make sure that the fuel cap is secured
to prevent spillage.
8.
Prevent fires by keeping machine clean of
accumulated trash, grease, and debris.
2.11 Tire Safety
1.
Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting 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 perform
required tire maintenance.
4.
When replacing worn tires, make sure they meet the
original tire specifications. Never install undersized
tires.
2.12 Hydraulic Safety
1.
Make sure that all the components in the hydraulic
system are kept in good condition and are clean.
2.
Before applying pressure to the
system, make sure all components
are tight, and that lines, hoses and
couplings are not damaged.
3.
Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the
hydraulic lines, fittings or hoses by using tapes,
clamps or cements. The hydraulic system operates
under extremely high pressure. Such repairs can
fail suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe
condition.
4.
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.
5.
If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream of
hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention immediately.
Serious infection or toxic reaction can develop from
hydraulic fluid piercing the skin surface.
6.
Relieve pressure in the hydraulic system before
working on it.
