FIRE OR EXPLOSION
PREVENTION
Engine fuel can cause an explosion or fire. Do not fill
the fuel tank with the engine running, if you are near
an open fire, or if you are welding, smoking, etc.
Use nonflammable cleaning solvent to clean parts.
Sparks or flame can cause the hydrogen gas in a
battery to explode. To prevent an explosion, do the
following:
1. When disconnecting the battery cables, disconnect
the negative (-) cable first; when connecting the
battery cables, connect the negative (-) cable last.
2. When connecting jumper cables to start the engine,
use the procedure shown in this manual. See Booster
Battery Connections in this manual.
3. Do not short circuit the battery posts with metal
items.
4. Do not weld, grind, or smoke near a battery.
Sparks from the electrical system or engine exhaust
can cause an explosion and fire. Before you operate
this machine in an area with flammable dust or vapors,
use good ventilation to remove the flammable dust or
vapors before you start.
Remove all trash or debris from the machine. Make
sure that oily rags or other flammable materials are not
stored on the machine.
A fire can cause injury or death. Always have a fire
extinguisher near by or on the machine. Make sure the
fire extinguisher is serviced according to the
manufacturers instructions.
Check for fuel, oil, and hydraulic fluid leaks. Replace
worn or damaged hoses or lines. After repairs are
made, clean the machine before you operate.
If you weld, grind or use a cutting torch on the
machine, always remove the starting fluid container
from the machine. Use compressed air to remove the
ether fumes from the area.
