SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions are suggested to help prevent accident
8
DIESEL FUEL
1. Under no circumstances should gasoline,
alcohol or blended fuels be added to diesel
fuel. These combinations can create an in-
creased fire or explosive hazard. Such
blends are more explosive than pure gaso-
line in a closed container such as a fuel
tank. Do not use these blends.
2. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the
engine running or hot.
3. Do not smoke while refueling or when
standing near fuel.
4. Maintain control of the fuel filler pipe nozzle
when filling the tank.
5. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow
room for expansion.
6. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
7. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
8. If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it
with a SHIBAURA approved cap. A
non-approved, proprietary cap may not be
safe.
9. Keep equipment clean and properly main-
tained
10. Do not drive equipment near open fires.
11. Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
12. Arrange fuel purchases so that summer
grade fuels are not held over and used in
the winter.
SAFETY FRAME (ROPS)
If your SHIBAURA Tractor is equipped with a
safety frame it must be maintained in a service-
able condition. Be careful when driving through
doorways or working in confined spaces with low
headroom.
Under no circumstances:
1. modify, drill or alter the safety frame in any
way as doing so could render you liable to
legal prosecution.
2. attempt to straighten or weld any part of the
main frame or retaining brackets which
have suffered damage. By doing so you
may weaken the structure and endanger
your safety.
3. secure any parts on the main frame or at-
tach your safety frame with other than the
special high tensile bolts and nuts speci-
fied.
4. attach chains or ropes to the main frame for
pulling purposes.
5. take unnecessary risks even though your
safety frame affords you the maximum pro-
tection possible.
