SAFETY Beware of Exhaust Fumes Prevent asphyxiation. Engine exhaust fumes can cause sickness or death. If you must operate in a building, be sure there is adequate ventilation. Either use an exhaust pipe extension to remove the exhaust fumes or open doors and windows to bring enough outside air into the area. PM (Particle Matter) combustion may generate white smoke during aftertreatment device regeneration. Do not attempt to perform aftertreatment device manual regeneration in a badly ventilated indoors. SA-016 Precautions for Welding and Grinding Welding may generate gas and / or small fires. Be sure to perform welding in a well ventilated and prepared area.
Store flammable objects in a safe place before starting welding. Only qualified personnel should perform welding. Never allow an unqualified person to perform welding. Grinding on the machine may create fire hazards. Store flammable objects in a safe place before starting grinding. After finishing welding and grinding, recheck that there are no abnormalities such as the area surrounding the welded area still smoldering. SA-818 Avoid Heating Near Pressurized Fluid Lines Flammable spray can be generated by heating near pressurized fluid lines, resulting in severe burns to yourself and bystanders.
Do not heat by welding, soldering, or using a torch near pressurized fluid lines or other flammable materials. Pressurized lines can be accidentally cut when heat goes beyond the immediate flame area. Install temporary fire-resistant guards to protect hoses or other materials before engaging in welding, soldering, etc. SA-030 S-31
