SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1B0BF00
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 en-
gine 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-
proved cap. Use of a non-approved cap without prop-
er 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
hoses; 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 im-
mediately 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 liq-
uids 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.
