SAFETY
General Precautions
Exhaust fumes from the engine
can kill
¡ Do not operate the engine in an enclosed
area without adequate ventilation.
¡ If natural ventilation is poor, install
ventilators, fans, exhaust extension pipes
or other artificial venting devices.
Handling asbestos dust
Inhaling asbestos dust has been linked to
lung cancer. When handling materials which
may contain asbestos, take the following
precautions:
¡ Never use compressed air for cleaning.
¡ Avoid brushing or grinding of the materials.
¡ For clean up, use wet methods or a
vacuum equipped with a high efficiency
particulate air (HEPA) filter.
¡ Wear an approved respirator if there is no
other way to control the dust. When
working indoors, install a ventilation
system with a macro molecular filter.
Be careful not to get crushed or
cut
Never put your hands, feet or other parts of
your body between the upperstructure and
the undercarriage or tracks, between the
machine body and working equipment, or
between a cylinder and moving part. The size
of these gaps change when the machine
moves and if caught a person can suffer
severe injury or death.
Using optional products
¡ Consult with a Takeuchi dealer before
installing optional attachments.
¡ Do not use attachments that have not
been approved by Takeuchi or a Takeuchi
dealer. Doing so may compromise safety
or adversely affect the machine’s
operation or service life.
¡ Takeuchi will not be held responsible for
any injuries, accidents or damage to its
products caused by the use of a non-
approved attachment.
