Safety - Section 20 OM2044 Page 20-14 DURING MAINTENANCE Rules To Follow When Adding Fuel Or Oil Spilled fuel and oil may cause slipping. Always clean up spills, immediately. Personnel Only authorized personnel can service and repair the machine. Always tighten the cap of the fuel and oil fillers securely. Attachments Never use fuel for washing any parts. Place attachments that have been removed from the machine in a safe place and manner to prevent them from falling. Always stop the engine before adding fuel or oil. Always add fuel and oil in a well-ventilated area.
Working Under The Machine Always lower all movable work equipment to the ground or to their lowest position before performing service or repairs under the machine. Always block the tires of the machine securely. Never work under the machine if the machine is poorly supported. Keeping The Machine Clean Spilled oil, grease, scattered tools, etc. can cause you to slip or trip. Always keep your machine clean and tidy. Radiator Coolant Level If it is necessary to add coolant to the radiator, stop the engine. Allow the engine and radiator to cool down before adding the coolant.
If water gets into the electrical system, there is danger that the machine may move unexpectedly and/or damage to components may occur. DO NOT use water or steam to clean any sensors, connectors, or the inside of the operator's compartment. Depress the pressure relief button on the radiator cap to relieve any pressure. Slowly loosen the cap to relieve pressure during removal. Use extreme care when washing the electrical control cabinet. DO NOT allow water to enter the control cabinet around the doors or vents. DO NOT allow any water to enter the cooling air inlet duct above the electrical control cabinet.
If water enters the control cabinet (through any opening or crevice) major damage to the electrical components may occur. Use Of Lighting When checking fuel, oil, coolant, or battery electrolyte, always use lighting with anti- explosion specifications. If lighting without this protection is used, there is a danger of explosion. Never spray water into the rear wheel electric motor covers. Damage to the wheel motor armatures may occur. DO NOT spray water into the retarding grids. Excess water in the retarding grids can cause a ground fault, which will prevent propulsion.
