Stop the engine and allow the machine
to
cool down before performing inspection and
maintenance.
• The engine, muffler, radiator, hydraulic
lines, sliding parts and many other parts
of
the machine are hot 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. Working on the machine under
these conditions could result
in
burns or
injuries due
to
the hot oil spraying out.
