Refueling Precautions
• Do NOT overll the fuel tank as overow creates a re
hazard when spilled on hot components.
• DO NOT smoke when refueling and 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 use of
non-approved 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 in 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. Electrical shock and burns can
occur.
• To avoid electrolyte loss, DO NOT tip batteries more
than 45 degrees.
Starting and Stopping
Precautions
• Check all around the grader to make sure there are
no people working on the machine or in the path of the
machine before starting. DO NOT start until area is
clear. Death or serious injury can occur to bystanders
from being crushed under a moving machine.
• Check brakes, steering and other control devices in
accordance with instructions before starting. Be sure
the engine is in neutral with the park brake engaged.
• DO NOT bypass the grader neutral-start system.
• Be aware of job site conditions and terrain. Adjust
your speed if operating in rough or hilly conditions.
DO NOT operate the engine in an
enclosed area without proper ventilation. Exhaust
gasses are odorless and deadly.
Parking Precautions
• Park grader on level ground whenever possible.
Apply the parking brake. Park the grader with wheels
securely blocked on grades.
• ALWAYS lower the moldboard and any attachments (if
equipped) to the ground.
• Remove ignition key when leaving grader parked or
unattended.
Operating Precautions
• Always comply with local regulations regarding
moving equipment on public roads and highways.
• Know and use the hand signals required for a
particular job. Know who has the responsibility for
signaling.
• Make sure that all lights and reectors comply with
state and local regulations. Make sure that they are
clean, in good working order, and can be seen clearly
by all trafc.
• DO NOT ride on attachments. or allow riders in or on
the grader.
• Check all gauges and warning instruments for proper
operation. If malfunctions are found, shut down the
machine and report the problem for resolution. If
the failure causes loss of steering control, loss of
brake control, or loss of engine power, stop grader
motion as quickly as possible. Apply parking brake (if
equipped). Keep the machine securely parked until
the failure is corrected or the machine can be safely
towed.
• Adjust seat and fasten the seatbelt before driving the
grader. The seat belt must t snug with the holding
strap free of slack.
• Drive the machine with care. Make sure speed is
compatible with conditions. Use caution on rough
ground, slopes, and while turning.
