SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PREVENT BURNS
After operation, the engine coolant is hot and is under
pressure. Hot water or steam are contained in the
engine, radiator and heater lines.
Skin contact with escaping hot water or steam can
cause severe burns.
Stop engine and let the same cool together with
radiator.
Slowly loosen the cap to release pressure after the
system has cooled, then remove it.
Engine oil, gear oil and hydraulic oil also become hot
during operation.
The engine, hoses, lines and other parts become hot
as well.
Wait for the oil and components to cool before starting
any maintenance or inspection work.
The hydraulic oil tank is pressurized.
Again, be sure to release all pressure before removing
the cap.
REMOVE PAINT BEFORE WELDING OR
HEATING
Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust.
Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint is
heated by welding, soldering, or using a torch.
Do all such work outside or in a well-ventilated area.
Dispose of paint and solvent properly.
If you sand or grind paint, avoid breathing the dust.
Wear an approved respirator.
If you use solvent or paint stripper, remove stripper with
soap and water before welding. Remove solvent or paint
stripper containers and other flammable material from
area. Allow fumes to disperse at least 15 minutes before
welding or heating.
