PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN DURING MAINTENANCE 2.8.18 COOLING FAN AND FAN BELT Be careful to the rotating parts and do not allow anyone to get too close to these parts, since clothes or parts of the body may get caught into them. If hands, clothes, or tools get entangled in the fan blades or the fan belt, they may be cut, torn or seriously damaged; for this re- ason, avoid touching the rotating parts. RWA01660 2.8.19 WASTE MATERIALS Do not dispose of used oil in the sewer system, rivers, etc. Always put used oil in containers. Never drain oil directly on to the ground.

Keep to the laws and regulations in force when disposing of har- mful substances such as oil, fuel, solvents, used filters and bat- teries. RWA01670 2.8.20 PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN INFLATING THE TYRES Always bear in mind that tyres can burst while being inflated, causing serious accidents. Before inflating the tyres, always check the wheel rims and the tyre walls and tread for dents, cuts, broken plies, or other de- fects. Have a tyre expert perform checks and tyre maintenance. When inflating the tyres, use a compressed air gun with exten- sion hose and pressure gauge. RWA20900 Make sure that there is nobody in the vicinity before starting to inflate a tyre.

Stand at the tread or outer belt side of the tyre to inflate it. Never exceed the inflation pressures specified for each type of tyre. Always make sure that the tyre pressures are identical on both sides of the machine . 52
