Safety - Section 20 OM2033 Page 20-2 General Safety MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING NEVER jump on or off the machine. NEVER get on or off a moving machine. FIRE PREVENTION FOR FUEL AND OIL Fuel, oil, and anti- freeze can be ignited by a flame. Fuel is particularly FLAMMA- BLE and can be HAZ- ARDOUS. When getting on or off the machine, face the machine and use the handhold and steps. Never hold any control levers when getting on or off the machine. Keep flame away from flammable fluids. Always maintain three-point contact with the handholds and steps to ensure that you support yourself. Stop the engine and do not smoke when refueling.
When bringing tools to the operator's compartment, always pass them by hand or pull them up by rope. Tighten all fuel and oil tank caps securely. If there is any oil, grease, or mud on the handholds or steps, wipe it off immediately. Always keep these parts clean. Repair any damage and tighten any loose bolts. Refueling and oiling should be made in well ventilated areas. Use the handrails and steps marked by arrows in the diagram below when getting on or off the machine. A: For use when getting on or off the machine from the left door. B: For use when getting on or off the machine from the engine hood or right door.
Keep oil and fuel in the determined place and do not allow unauthorized persons to enter. PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING AT HIGH TEMPERATURES Immediately after operations, the engine cooling water, engine oil, and hydraulic oil are at high temperature and are under pressure. If the cap is removed, or the oil or water is drained, or the filters are replaced, there is danger of serious burns. Always wait for the temperature to cool down, and carry out the operation according to the specified procedure. To prevent hot water from spurting out: 1) Stop the engine. 2) Wait for the water temperature to cool down. 3) Turn the cap slowly to release the pressure before removing the cap.
To prevent hot engine oil from spurting out: 1) Stop the engine. 2) Wait for the oil temperature to cool down. 3) Turn the cap slowly to release the pressure before removing the cap.
