1.7 Keep fuel and oil away from sparks
• Leaving flames near fuel, oil, hydraulic oil or anti-
freeze solutions, which are highly flammable and dan-
gerous, may cause a fire.
• Specific attention must be paid to the following
points :
– Keep flammable materials away from cigarettes,
lit matches or any source of fire.
– Never top up any fluids while the engine is run-
ning. Do not smoke when topping up any fluids.
– Tighten the fuel and oil tank caps firmly.
• Store fuel and oil in a cool, well-ventilated place
away from direct sunlight.
• The fuel and oil must be stored in a place that re-
sponds to applicable safety regulations. Unauthorised
personnel must not enter this area.
1.8 Avoid removing the caps when the temperatures are high
• The engine coolant is hot and under pressure after
stopping the machine.
• The removal of the cap or draining the coolant in
such conditions may cause burns.
• When you remove the radiator cap, shut down the
engine and let the coolant cool down enough then gen-
tly turn the cap to release all the pressure.
1.9 Avoid crush injuries due to accessories
• Keep your hands, arms and other parts of your body
away from moving parts, between the machine's acces-
sories or between the hydraulic cylinder and the acces-
sories as jamming points may be created.
