Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) poses a greater static ignition hazard than earli-
er diesel formulations with higher Sulfur content. Avoid death or serious injury
from fire or explosion; consult with your fuel or fuel system supplier to ensure the
delivery system is in compliance with fueling standards for proper grounding and
bonding practices.
2.11 Crush and Burn Avoidance
• Do not work under the lift arms unless they are resting safely on the ground
or supported by the lift arm brace.
• Keep your entire body inside the operator enclosure at all times during
operation. Never work with any part of your body protruding from the cab.
• Do not use any restraining devices such as cables or chains that are
damaged or do not have sufficient carrying capacity. Always wear safety
gloves when working with wire cables.
• In adverse conditions (high winds, uneven terrain, etc.), keep clear of (or
secure against unintended movement) raised or open hinged items (hoods,
doors, engine enclosure panels and similar).
• Never align holes with your fingers when working on the machine. Instead
use a suitable mandrel.
• Keep yourself and all objects that could be drawn into the fan at a safe
distance while the engine is running.
• The entire cooling system is hot and under pressure when it is at or near
operating temperature. Avoid touching parts that carry coolant to avoid the
possibility of burns.
• Allow the machine to cool thoroughly prior to touching or removing the
cooling system cap. Once cool, loosen the cover slowly to bleed off any
excess pressure.
• The engine and hydraulic oil are hot when at or near operating temperature.
Avoid skin contact with hot oil or parts carrying oil.
• Wear safety goggles and protective gloves when you are working with the
battery. Keep sparks and open flames away from the work area.
• Exhaust components are hot when at or near operating temperature. Allow
the machine to cool thoroughly prior to touching or performing service work
on exhaust components to avoid the possibility of burns.
