SAFETY Using Drop Lamps Use only approved anti-explosion-proof lamps when checking fuel, oil, or batteries. Non-approved lamps can cause an explosion or fire. Using Proper Tools Use only tools suited to the task. Use the tools correctly. Using damaged, deformed, or low quality tools, or making improper use of the tools may cause serious personal injury. Keeping the Machine Clean Never use flammable liquids to clean your machine. Use only approved non-flammable cleaning solvents to clean parts or the machine itself. Do not use high-pressure steam cleaners or caustic soaps to wash the machine. Steam cleaning or using caustic soaps may damage paint, wiring, or sensitive electrical components.
Never use high-pressure water to flood the inside of the operator’s cab. Doing so may damage sensitive electrical components. When pressure washing, use high-pressure hot water and mild grease-cutting soaps. Always grease the machine after cleaning to push any water out of the pivot-point connections. Remove trash daily or more often as necessary. Never allow trash to accumulate on the machine. Precautions When Welding Welding operations must always be carried out by a qualified welder and in a place equipped with proper equipment. There is a danger of gas, fire, or electrocution when carrying out welding. Never allow any unqualified personnel to carry out welding.
Before carrying out electric welding, turn the starting switch OFF and wait over one minute. If the machine is equipped with a battery disconnect switch, turn the battery disconnect switch to turn off ALL power and remove the key. Then remove the negative (-) battery cable. 1-40 WA430-6
