MACHINE SPECIFIC
PRECAUTIONS
Hot Material Precautions
• Wear protective gear for face, hands, feet, and body
when operating the loader.
• Allow machine to cool before repairing or maintaining
working components.
• DO NOT remove radiator cap, drain plugs, service
grease ttings or pressure taps while engine is hot.
Add coolant to the radiator and perform other services
only when the engine is stopped and fully cooled.
Hydraulic Systems Precautions
• Ensure all components are in good working condition.
Replace any worn, cut, abraded, attened or crimped
hoses and metal lines.
• DO NOT attempt makeshift repairs using tape, clamps
or cements. The hydraulic system operates under
extremely high pressure and such repairs could
cause serious injury.
• Wear proper hand and eye protection when checking
for a high pressure leak.
Hydraulic oil under pressure can
cause serious personal injury. Check for oil leaks
with a piece of cardboard. Do not expose hands to
possible high-pressure oil. Turn off engine before
attempting to tighten oil lines and ttings.
• Escaping pressurized hydraulic uid has force
sufcient to penetrate the skin and cause serious
personal injury. Ensure pressure is relieved before
disconnecting lines, hoses or valves.
• If injury from concentrated high pressure steam
or hydraulic uid occurs, seek medical attention
immediately. Injuries resulting from hydraulic uid
penetrating the skin’s surface can result in serious
infections or toxic reactions.
Refueling Precautions
• When refueling, keep the hose nozzle or funnel in
contact with the metal on the fuel tank to avoid the
possibility of an electrical spark lighting the fuel.
Maintain control of ller nozzle.
DO NOT overll the fuel tank as
overow creates a re hazard when spilled on hot
components.
DO NOT smoke when refueling.
NEVER refuel when the engine is running. Fuel is
highly ammable and should be handled with care.
Death or serious injury can occur due to explosion
and/or re.
• DO NOT ll tank to capacity. Allow room for expansion
to reduce the risk of fuel expanding and spilling from
the tank.
• Tighten fuel cap securely. Should fuel cap be lost,
replace it with an original manufacturer’s approved
cap. Pressurization of the tank may result from using
an incorrect fuel cap.
• Prevent res by keeping the machine clean of
accumulated debris, grease and spilled fuel.
• Use ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD) only.
Battery Precautions
• Keep all sparks and ames away from batteries, as
gas given off by electrolytes is explosive.
• Acid propelled by an explosion can cause blindness
if it comes in contact with eyes. Always wear safety
glasses when working near batteries.
• If you come into contact with battery electrolyte
solution, wash off immediately. Chemicals can cause
burns.
• Always disconnect the battery ground cable before
working on the electrical system to avoid injury from
spark or short circuit.
• To avoid electrolyte loss, DO NOT tip batteries more
than 45 degrees.
• Use jumper cables ONLY in recommended manner.
Improper use can result in battery explosion or
unexpected machine motion.
