SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SECTION 2 Page 11 MAINTENANCE 1. Follow the correct method for starting the engine. Refer to "STARTING THE ENGINE" in Section 3. 2. Do not use the ether injector when the ambient temperature is above freezing. 3. For your own personal safety, always remove the ether container when welding, grinding or fusing a torch on the machine. 4. Do not let ether come in contact with your skin, as it can cause localized freezing. 5. Do not breathe the hazardous ether vapor. 6. Keep the fluid container out of the reach of children. 7. Never puncture the fluid container or put it into a fire. Dispose of empty container properly. 8.
Do not store fluid containers in the operator's compartment. Never mix gasoline, gasohol or alcohol with diesel fuel. This creates an extreme fire or explosion hazard, which could result in personal injury or death. Do not use bleach, color dye or solvents on the seat belt webbing. This may cause a severe loss of tensile strength. This could cause the webbing to break resulting in personal injury. It is recommended that the seat belt be cleaned only with warm water and mild detergent. 2.5. WHEN PARKING If parking on or near traffic lanes cannot be avoided, provide appropriate flags, barriers, flares and warning signals.
Also provide advance-warning signals in the traffic lane for approaching traffic. Park the machine in a non-operating and non-traffic area. Park machine on level ground whenever possible. If you must park on a slope, park at right angles to the slope. Apply and lock the brake pedal. Never leave the machine unattended with the engine running. When leaving the machine unattended, slowly lower the hydraulic equipment to the ground, shift the transmission into neutral and lock the neutral lock lever, shut off the engine, apply and lock the parking brake. Relieve any pressure in the hydraulic system by moving the controls in both directions.
Turn off the electrical system master switch and take it out. Always lock up machine when leaving it unattended, including any anti-vandalism attachments. Do not jump off the machine. When operating in bad weather and storm lightening is nearby, dismount and seek shelter away from the machine. Lightening will be attracted to the machine and can cause serious injury or death. When the machine is to be loaded onto a transport truck and trailer do so carefully. Load only when the trailer is level. The steel track shoes will slide easily on the trailer. When the machine is properly positioned chain it securely and block with wooden pieces so it can not move on the trailer.
Keep your head, body, legs, hand, fingers away from the blade and ripper when they are in a raised position. Do not allow the hydraulic system to support the mounted equipment without its proper blocking when leaving the machine unattended, to eliminate the possibility of an expected drop of the blade or ripper.
