Burn Prevention When checking radiator coolant level, stop engine, let engine and radiator cool down, then check coolant recovery tank. If coolant level in coolant recovery tank is near upper limit, there is enough coolant in radiator. Using gloves, loosen radiator cap slowly to release internal pressure before removing radiator cap. If coolant level in coolant recovery tank is below lower limit, add coolant. Cooling system conditioner contains alkali which can cause personal injury. Do not allow alkali to contact skin, eyes, or mouth. Allow cooling system components to cool before draining cooling system. Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury.
Do not allow hot oil or hot components to contact skin. Vent hydraulic tank only after engine has been stopped and hydraulic tank is cool. Using gloves, slowly tilt hydraulic tank air breather to relieve pressure. Relieve all pressure in hydraulic oil system, in fuel system, or in cooling system before disconnecting any lines, hoses, fittings, or related components. Batteries give off flammable fumes that can explode and start a fire. HAAE1980 Figure 42 Do not smoke while you are checking battery electrolyte level. Electrolyte is an acid. Electrolyte can cause personal injury. Do not allow electrolyte to contact skin or eyes.
