PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN DURING MAINTENANCE 2.8.10 RULES FOR REFUELLING AND ADDING OIL q Keep away from naked flames while refuelling or adding oil. q Spilled fuel or oil make the ground slippery and may cause accidents; clean any dirty area immediately and carefully. q Always tighten the fuel tank and the hydraulic circuit oil sa- fety caps securely. q Do not use fuel to clean any part of the machine that is dirty with oil or dust. q Always top up the fuel and oil tanks in properly ventilated areas and refrain from smoking.
RWA00970 q When refuelling, hold the fuel gun firmly and keep it constan- tly in contact with the filler until you have finished, in order to avoid sparks due to static electricity. q Do not fill the tank completely, in order to leave room for the fuel to expand. RWA00980 2.8.11 CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVEL IN THE RADIATOR q Let the engine and the radiator cool down before checking the coolant level. q If it is necessary to remove the cap with hot engine, wear su- itable clothes and protections and loosen the cap slowly, in order to release the pressure gradually.
RWA01340 2.8.12 USING LAMPS q Use only homologated explosion-proof lamps to check the fuel, oil, coolant and battery electrolyte levels. Unsuitable lamps can cause fires or explosions. RWA01350 46
