Safety Section End fittings damaged or leaking. Outer covering chafed or cut and wire reinforcing exposed. Outer covering ballooning locally. Evidence of kinking or crushing of the flexible part of hose. Armouring embedded in the outer cover. End fittings displaced. Make sure that all clamps, guards and heat shields are installed correctly to prevent vibration, rubbing against other parts, and excessive heat during operation. Tire Information Explosions of air-inflated tires have resulted from heat-induced gas combustion inside the tires. The heat, generated by welding or heating rim components, external fire, or excessive use of brakes can cause gaseous combustion.
A tire explosion is much more violent than a blowout. The explosion can propel the tire, rim and axle components as far as 500 m (1500 ft) or more from the lift truck. Both the force of the explosion and the flying debris can cause personal injury or death, and property damage. Do not approach a warm tire closer than the outside of the area represented by the shaded area in the above drawing. Fire Extinguisher Have a fire extinguisher-type BC and 1.5KG minimum capacity-on rear overhead guard leg with latch and know how to use it. Inspect and have it serviced as recommended on its instruction plate. Ether Ether is poisonous and flammable.
Breathing ether vapors or repeated contact of ether with skin can cause personal injury. Use ether only in well-ventilated areas. Do not smoke while changing ether cylinders. Use ether with care to avoid fires. Do not store replacement ether cylinders in living areas or in the operator's compartment. Do not store ether cylinders in direct sunlight or at temperatures above 39°C (102°F). Discard cylinders in a safe place. Do not puncture or burn cylinders. Keep ether cylinders out of the reach of unauthorized personnel. Lines, Tubes and Hoses Do not bend or strike high pressure lines. Do not install bent or damaged lines, tubes or hoses.
Repair any loose or damaged fuel and oil lines, tubes and hoses. Leaks can cause fires. Contact your DOOSAN dealer for repair or replacement. Check lines, tubes and hoses carefully. Do not use your bare hand to check for leaks. Use a board or cardboard to check for leaks. See Fluid Penetration in the Safety Section for more details. Tighten all connections to the recommended torque. Replace if any of the following conditions are found. 16
