SAFETY
Maintenance Precautions
Disposing of wastes
� Funnel spent fluids from the machine into
containers. Disposing of fluids improperly
destroys the environment.
�
Follow the prescribed regulations when
disposing of oil, fuel, engine coolant,
refrigerant, solvents, filters, batteries or
other harmful substances.
Checks after maintenance
� Gradually raise the engine speed from a
low idle to maximum speed and check
that no oil or water is leaking from serviced
parts.
�
Move the controls and check that the
machine is operating properly.
Vibrations to which the operator is
subjected
According to the results of the tests carried
out to determine the vibrations transmitted to
the operator by the machine, the upper limbs
are subjected to vibrations lower than 2.5 m
(8.2 ft) / sq. sec. while the seated part of the
body is subjected to vibrations lower than 0.5
m (1.64 ft) / sq. sec.
Have a Takeuchi service agent
repair welding
If welding must be performed, make sure
that it is done by a qualified person in a
properly equipped workplace. To prevent any
part from breaking down or being damaged
due to overcurrent or sparks, observe the
following.
�
Disconnect the wiring from the battery
before doing electric welding.
�
Do not continuously apply 200 V or
more.
�
The earth ground must be connected
within one meter from the welding section.
Do not connect the earth ground near to an
electronically controlled device/instrument
or connectors.
�
Make sure that there are no seals or
bearings between the welding section and
the earth ground.
�
Do not connect the earth ground around
the pins for the working equipment or
hydraulic cylinders.
�
When welding is to be done on the
machine body, disconnect the connectors
for the electronically controlled devices
before working.
