1-4
WARNING
These instructions should be strictly followed for the safety of you, others and your machine.
• Open flames can ignite fuel, oil, hydraulic oil or antifreeze solutions, which are flammable and dangerous.
Special attention must be paid to the following matters.
• Keep flammable materials away from lighted cigarettes or matches, or any other sources of ignition.
• Never refuel while the engine is running. Smoking during refueling must be strictly prohibited.
• Firmly tighten the caps on the fuel and oil tanks.
• Store fuel and oil in a cool and well-ventilated place where they are not subjected to direct sunlight.
• Fuel and oil must be stored in a place which meets all applicable safety regulations. Unauthor-
ized persons should not be allowed entry.
• The engine coolant, engine oil and hydraulic oil are hot and under
pressure immediately after the machine stops operation.
Removing caps, draining coolant or oil, or replacing a filter at such a
time may cause burns. Allow temperatures to cool down and follow
the procedures in this manual.
• When removing the radiator cap, stop the engine and allow the cool-
ant to cool down, then turn the cap slowly to relieve all pressures.
• Before removing the cap from the hydraulic oil tank, stop the engine
and turn the cap slowly to relieve all pressure to prevent oil from spouting out.
• Air containing asbestos dust is carcinogenic and is hazardous to hu-
mans. Inhalation of the air may cause lung cancer. When handling
materials that may contain asbestos, keep in mind that:
• Compressed air must not be used for cleaning.
• Water must be used to clean the machine to prevent asbestos from
scattering in the air.
• You must work on the windward side when operating the machine
in a place where there may be asbestos dust.
• You should wear breathing apparatus as necessary.
Keep fuel and oil away from sources of ignition
