SAFETY MAINTENANCE INFORMATION SAFETY AIR CONDITIONER MAINTENANCE If air conditioner refrigerant gets into your eyes, it may cause blindness; if it touches your skin, it may cause frost- bite. Never touch refrigerant. COMPRESSED AIR q When carrying out cleaning with compressed air, there is a hazard of serious injury caused by flying particles. q When using compressed air to clean elements or the radiator, always wear safety goggles, dust mask, gloves, and other protective equipment.
PERIODIC REPLACEMENT OF SAFETY CRITICAL PARTS q To enable the machine to be used safely for long periods, be particularly careful to periodically replace the seatbelt, hoses, and other parts which have a close relationship to safety. See Replacing critical parts: SAFETY CRITICAL PARTS (4-15) q The material of these components naturally changes over time, and repeated use causes deterioration, wear, and fatigue. As a result, there is a hazard that these components may fail and cause serious injury or death. It is difficult to judge the remaining life of these components from external inspection or the feeling when oper- ating, so always replace them at the specified interval.
q Replace or repair safety-critical parts if any defect is found, even when they have not reached the time speci- fied interval. 2-44
