SAFETY
Be careful with hot cooling systems
PRECAUTIONS ON MAINTENANCE
Do not remove the radiator cap or the drain
plug when the cooling water is hot. Stop the
engine and wait until the engine and the
cooling water cool. Then, slowly loosen the
radiator cap to release the internal pressure
and remove it.
Be careful with oil internal pressure
Pressure is maintained in the hydraulic circuit
long after the engine has been shut down.
• Completely relieve the internal pressure
before performing maintenance work.
• The hydraulic oil is high enough pressure to
penetrate the skin or eyes and cause
serious injury, blindness or death.
Remember that the hydraulic oil escaping
from a small hole is almost invisible. When
checking for leaks, wear protective goggle
and thick gloves, and use a paperboard or
plywood to keep your skin from oil
spurting.
If oil penetrates the skin, it must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with this type of injury.
