HIGH PRESSURE HOSES SAFETY Do not use bent, cut or cracked tubing or hoses which have been previ- ously rejected because of leaks or other defects. Faulty hoses can burst during operation causing injury or fire. Repair or replace any loose or faulty fuel or hydraulic lines immedi- ately. Do not operate the machine with damaged or leaking hoses or lines. Remember that working hydraulic systems are always under pressure. If you have to add or drain hydraulic fluid, service or inspect the hydraulic system, lower the equipment to the ground and release system pressure and residual tank pressure before starting any work.
Leaks from pressurized hydraulic lines are extremely dangerous since the spray from them can penetrate your skin and enter the bloodstream, or the eyes. Always wear thick gloves and protective goggles when working on the hydraulic systems Use a sheet of cardboard or plywood to search for- leaks. If you are struck by a jet of hydraulic fluid under pressure, or if you are injured even slightly, consult a doctor immediately for appropriate treat- ment. HIGH TEMPERATURES AREAS When you stop the machine at the end of a job, remember the engine coolant, oil, all engine parts, exhaust stack and the hydraulic system is still hot and under pressure.
If you attempt to drain engine coolant, hydraulic fluid, or engine oil under these conditions, you expose your- self to various dangers, including the risk of serious burns. Carry out maintenance procedures described in this manual only when the machine has had time to cool down. ROTATING PARTS Take particular care near rotating parts. Keep your body at a safedis- tance. If hands, clothing, or tools become entangled in the fan blades or fan belt, severe injury may result. Keep well away from all rotating parts. WB140-2N, WB150-2N 1-17
