Place heavy objects in a stable position
When removing or installing the hoe attachment,
place it in a stable position so that it does not tip over.
Use caution when fueling
• 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.
• Maintain control of the fuel filler nozzle when
filling the tank.
• Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for
expansion.
• Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
• Tighten the fuel tank cap securely. Should the fuel
cap be lost, replace it only with the original
manufacturer’s approved cap. Use of a non-ap-
proved cap without proper venting may result in
pressurization of the tank.
• Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
• Use the correct fuel grade for the operating season.
Handling of hoses
Fuel, oil or hydraulic fluid leaks can cause a fire.
• Do not twist, bend or hit the hoses.
• Never use twisted, bent or cracked hoses, tubes and
pipes. They may burst.
• Retighten loose connections.
Be careful with hot and pressurized
components
Stop the engine and allow the machine to cool down
before performing inspection and maintenance.
• The engine, muffler, radiator, hydraulic lines, slid-
ing parts and many other parts of the machine are
hot directly after the engine is stopped. Touching
these parts will cause burns.
• The engine coolant, oil and hydraulic fluid are also
hot and under high pressure.
Be careful when loosening caps and plugs. Work-
ing on the machine under these conditions could
result in burns or injuries due to the hot oil spurting
out.
Be careful with hot cooling systems
Do not remove the radiator cap or drain plugs when
the coolant is hot. Stop the engine, let the engine and
radiator cool and loosen the radiator cap or drain plugs
slowly.
