PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE 2.8.10 RULES TO BE FOLLOWED DURING FUEL OR OIL TOPPING UP Spilled fuel or oil make the ground slippery and may cause ac- cidents; clean any dirty area immediately and carefully. Always tighten the fuel tank and hydraulic circuit oil safety caps securely. Do not use fuel to clean any part of the machine that may be dirty with oil or dust. Always top up the fuel and oil tanks in properly ventilated place and avoid smoking. RWA00970 When refuelling, hold the fuel gun firmly and keep it constantly in contact with the filler until you have finished, in order to avoid sparks due to static electricity.
Do not fill the tank completely, in order to leave room for the fu- el to expand. RWA00980 2.8.11 CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVEL IN THE RADIATOR Let the engine and the radiator cool down, before checking the coolant level in the radiator. If it is necessary to remove the cap with hot engine, wear suit- able clothes and protections and loosen the cap slowly, in or- der to gradually release the pressure. RWA01340 2.8.12 USING LAMPS When checking the fuel, oil, coolant or battery electrolyte lev- els, always use homologated explosion-proof lamps. If such lighting equipment is not used, there is danger of fire or explosion. RWA01350 48
