SAFETY WHEN REFILLING FUEL
• Light petroleum is used as the fuel of this Machine.
Do not refill wrong kind of fuel.
Refilling wrong oil may damage the engine.
• Always stop the engine before refilling fuel.
Refilling the oil when engine is driving may cause leaked fuel to
draw fire from hot muffler or other substance.
• Oversupply of oil results in spilling and is dangerous. Refill slightly
fewer than the specified level.
Always wipe away cleanly whenever the fuel spills.
• Securely close the tank cap after replenishing fuel.
KEEP FIRE AWAY FROM OIL
Attempt to let a fire approach the fuel, hydraulic oil or engine oil may
result in catching fire. Strictly observe the followings.
• Do not let any fire such as a cigarette or match approach
combustibles.
• Securely close all of the fuel and oil container caps.
• Keep the fuel and oils in well-ventilated location.
• Store the fuel and oils in a fixed location and keep unrelated
persons away.
• Do not leave the site when replenishing the fuel or oil.
Be especially careful to observe "Safety when refilling fuel"
described earlier when replenishing oil.
• Cleanly wipe away fuel and oil that spilled during replenishment.
HANDLING HIGH TEMPERATURE
During short time after stopping operation of the Machine, the engine
itself and engine oil, cooling water and hydraulic oil are in high
temperature, and in addition the pressure is accumulated inside the
hydraulic oil tank.
Attempt to inspect the engine, remove the radiator cap, drain oil,
drain water or replace the filter under such condition may result in
burns.
Wait until the temperature drops, then follow the following
sequences.
• To prevent emission of the high temperature oil, stop the engine
and wait until the oil temperature drops, and when loosening the
cap, turn slowly and relieve the pressure before detaching the cap.
(To find how much the oil temperature dropped, let your hand
approach the surface of the hydraulic oil tank or similar location
without actually contacting and find out from the ambient
temperature.)
