the machine, do not open the radiator cap while
the water temperature is high.
• When cooling water needs to be checked or sup-
plied, wait until the engine is cooled (50°C or less
as measured with the water temperature gauge).
CAUTION:
HOT PARTS can burn
skin.
CAUTION: Battery.
High temperature units are located in the machine.
(Note that these units are very dangerous if they are
used incorrectly.)

CAUTION: ENGINE
EXHAUST can kill.
Insufficient ventilation may lead to death due to
lack of oxygen or poisoning by exhaust gases.
• Do not use the machine in a place of poor ventila-
tion or in a place where exhaust gases stays.
• Do not use the machine indoors or in storehouse,
tunnel, ship hold, tank, etc. of poor ventilation.
• If it becomes necessary to use the machine in
the above places, the exhaust pipe should be
extended to a well ventilated place. In this case,
use a ventilator to ensure proper ventilation.
• Do not direct the exhaust outlet to nearby
pedestrians and houses.
Battery generates flammable gases. Improper
handling may lead to explosion or serious injury.
• Battery should be charged in a well ventilated
location. Otherwise, flammable gases are accu-
mulated which may be ignited and exploded.
• When connecting a booster cable, do not jumper
the terminals (+ and -). Otherwise, the flammable
gases generated from the battery may be ignited
and exploded by sparks.
• For maintenance of the machine, disconnect the
ground cable on the ground side.
The battery acid is dilute sulfuric acid. Improper
handling will cause unexpected burns.
• When the battery acid gets on your clothes or skin,
wash it out with a large volume of water immediate-
ly. If it gets in your eyes, wash with a large volume
of water immediately and consult your doctor.
In the worst case, it will put out your eyes.
