2 - SAFETY RULES21
DANGER
The battery releases explosive gas: do not allow sparks or ames to
come close to the battery and never smoke near it. If the battery is used
or charged in a closed area, check for good ventilation. Do not check the
battery charge by short-circuiting the terminals with metal tools: use a
density gauge or a voltmeter.
CAUTION
Do not remove the tank lling plug when the engine is on, because the
hydraulic system under pressure may cause injury. Stop the engine be-
fore releasing pressure.
CAUTION
The spilling of hydraulic oil under pressure may cause injuries: before
disconnecting or connecting the hoses, stop the engine and operate the
controls to release the residual pressure. Prevent the engine from starting
when the hoses are disconnected.
CAUTION
If damaged, the hydraulic hoses may cause death, carry out appropriate
periodical checks to check for the presence of:
• Damaged ttings;
• Wear of outer coatings as consequence of rubbing;
• Swelling on outer coatings;
• Bent or squashed hoses;
• Fittings not properly located.
CAUTION
Oil is poisonous: do not swallow. The engine oil contains dangerous pol-
luting agents which can generate skin tumours. Handle oil as little as pos-
sible and protect your skin with creams and gloves. Any skin that comes
into contact with oil must be washed carefully with warm water and soap:
do not use petrol, fuel or oil.
CAUTION
Hydraulic oil spraying at high pressure penetrates the skin: do not check
for oil leaks with your ngers or allow your face to become too close to
them. Use a cardboard blank to verify the possible presence of hydraulic
oil. If oil penetrates the skin, ask immediately for a doctor for the relevant
treatment.
