SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY
Caution when filling with fuel or oil
• Keep away from heat, sparks and flame while filling with
fuel or oil.
• Never remove the fuel cap or try to fuel when the engine
is running or still hot.
• Maintain control of the fuel filler nozzle when filling the
tank.
• Refill with fuel or oil outdoors or in a well ventilated place,
with the engine turned off.
• Clean up spilled fuel or oil immediately.
• Do not overfill the tank.
• Firmly tighten the fuel cap or oil cap. If the fuel cap is
lost, replace it only with the original manufacturer’s ap-
pr
oved cap. Use of a non-approved cap without proper
venting may result in pressurization of the tank.
• Never use fuel for cleaning.
• Use the correct grade of fuel for the operating season.
Handling of hoses
Oil leak or fuel leak can cause a fire.
• Do not twist, bend or hit the hoses.
• Never use twisted, bent or cracked pipes, tubes or hos-
es; otherwise, they may burst.
• Retighten loose connections.
Be careful with hot and pressurized components
Before performing inspection and maintenance, stop the
engine and allow the machine to cool down.
• The engine, muffler, radiator, hydraulic lines, sliding parts
and many other parts of the machine are hot immediate-
ly
after the engine is stopped. Wait until it cools before
making any inspection or adjustments.
• The engine coolant, hydraulic oil and other oils are also
hot and under high pressure. Touching these liquids will
cause burns.
Handling of radiator
Do not remove the radiator cap when the coolant is hot.
Wait until it cools down, and then remove the radiator cap
by loosening it slowly to release the internal pressure.
