OM2025.1 Safety - Section 2 General Safety Page 2-13 RADIATOR WATER LEVEL If it is necessary to add water to the radiator, stop the engine and allow the engine and radiator to cool down before adding the water. Slowly loosen the cap to relieve pressure before removing the cap. USE OF LIGHTING When checking fuel, oil, coolant, or battery electrolyte, always use lighting with anti-explosion specifications. If such lighting equipment is not used, there is danger or explosion. When repairing the electrical system or when carrying out electrical welding, remove the negative (-) terminal of the battery to stop the flow of current.
PRECAUTIONS WITH BATTERY HANDLING HIGH-PRESSURE HOSES Do not bend high-pressure hoses or hit them with hard objects. Do not use any bent or cracked piping, tubes or hoses. They may burst during use. Always repair any loose or broken fuel hoses or oil hoses. If fuel or oil leaks, it may cause a fire. Do not forget that the work equipment circuits are always under pressure. PRECAUTIONS WITH HIGH PRESSURE OIL Do not add oil, drain oil, or carry out maintenance or inspection before completely releasing the internal pressure. If oil is leaking under high pressure from small holes, it is dangerous if the jet of high-pressure oil hits the skin or enters the eyes.
Always wear safety glasses and thick gloves, and use a piece of cardboard or a sheet of wood to check for oil leakage. If you are hit by a jet of high-pressure oil, consult a doctor immediately for medical attention.
