1. Running the unit with deteriorated lubricant unchanged or in a very hot condition brings the lubricant
ignites and this may cause serious accident.
Keep the lubricant well controlled (
See p. 20 - 21).
2.Do not operate the unit without protective equipment. In case of SHUTDOWN, read this section “5.
TROUBLESHOOTING” to remove the cause. If the cause is unknown, inform and ask your dealer or
Hitachi regional office.
