SAFETY
Place heavy objects in a stable position
When it is necessary to temporally place a
heavy object or an attachment on the ground
during removal or installation, be sure to
place it in a stable position. Keep off
unauthorized persons from the storage place
for such object.
Cautions when refueling
• Do not smoke or permit open flames while
fueling or near fueling operations.
• Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel
when the engine is running or still hot. Do
not spill fuel on the hot surface of the
machine.
• Fill the fuel tank in a well ventilated place.
• Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow
room for oil expansion.
• Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
• Securely tighten the fuel filler cap. If the fuel
cap is lost, replace it only with the genuine
cap. Use of a non-approved cap without
proper venting may result in pressurization
of the tank.
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 hoses; otherwise, they may burst.
• Retighten loose connection.
Be careful with hot and pressurized
components
Stop the engine and allow the machine to
cool down before performing maintenance.
• The engine, muffler, radiator, hydraulic
lines, sliding parts and many other parts of
the machine are hot immediately after the
engine is stopped. Touching these parts
will cause burns.
• The engine coolant, hydraulic oil and other
oils are also hot and under high pressure.
Be careful not to touch the hydraulic oil
when loosening the cap or plug. Working
on the machine under these conditions
could result in burns or injuries due to the
hot oil spurting out.
