General Precautions
Be sure to lock the safety lock
lever before leaving the operator’s
seat
Before leaving the operator’s seat, raise
the safety lock lever(s) to engage the
lock and stop the engine. If any controls
should be touched accidentally when
the safety lock lever(s) is lowered, the
machine will move suddenly, and cause
serious injury or death.
Note that the dozer blade, boom swing
and auxiliary hydraulics controls are not
locked, even when the safety lock lever
is set to the lock position. Do not touch
these controls accidentally.
Before leaving the operator’s seat, lower
the working equipment, raise the safety
lock lever(s) to engage the lock and stop
the engine. Also, be sure to remove the
key and take it with you.
Avoid fire and explosion hazards
Keep flames away from fuel, hydraulic fluid,
oil, grease and antifreeze. Fuel is particularly
flammable and dangerous.
When handling these combustible
materials, keep lit cigarettes, matches,
lighters and other flames or sources of
flames away.
Do not smoke or permit open flames
while fueling or near fueling operations.
Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with
the engine running or hot. Never allow
fuel to spill on hot machine components.
Clean up spilled fuel, oil or other
flammable fluids immediately.
Check for fuel, oil or hydraulic fluid leaks.
Stop all leaks and clean the machine
before operating.
Do not cut or weld on pipes or tubes
that contain flammable fluids. Clean
thoroughly with nonflammable solvent
before cutting or welding.
Remove all trash or debris from the
machine. Make sure that oily rags or
other flammable material are not stored
on the machine.
Handle all solvents and dry chemicals
according to procedures identified on
manufacturers’ containers. Work in a
well-ventilated area.
Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
Always use a nonflammable solvent.
Store all flammable fluids and materials
in a safe and well-ventilated place.
