SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FUEL SYSTEM NEVER remove the fuel filler cap or fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or when the machine is indoors. The fumes are hazardous and a spark or flame could cause a fire or explosion. When filling the fuel tank, place the fuel nozzle against the side of the filler neck to reduce the chances of static electricity sparks. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel tank or servicing the fuel system because a fire or explosion could result. NEVER mix gasoline, gasohol or alcohol with diesel fuel. This creates a fire or explosion hazard which could result in personal injury or death. HYDRAULICS For your safety, lower the bucket before servicing the machine.
Be sure no one is standing near the bucket when it is being lowered. Loosen the filler cap slowly to relieve the pressure before disassembly of any hydraulic system components. DO NOT OVERFILL. DO NOT use hands to search for hydraulic leaks. Hydraulic oil escaping under pressure from a very small hole can be almost invisible, yet have sufficient force to penetrate the skin. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for suspected leaks. If injured by escaping oil, see a doctor immediately because of the possibility of serious infection or reaction to the oil. This machine has a pressurized hydraulic reservoir. NEVER work under a raised bucket without proper blocking.
Before working on the hydraulic system, be sure the system pressure is relieved by moving the control levers in all directions with the engine off. TIRES AND RIMS Tire and rim repairs MUST be done by specially trained people using special safety tools. An improperly repaired tire or rim can separate suddenly and cause serious injury. deflated should be placed in a tire safety cage. Inflate the tire to 0.3 kg/cm* (5 psi / 35 kPa) and check that all components are properly seated. NEVER stand directly in front of a tire and rim assembly while inflating.
Use a clip-on chuck with a hose long enough NEVER inflate a flat tire without inspecting the tire, rim to allow the person inflating the tire to stand to the and wheel for damage. Be sure all components are side. Serious injury could result if the tire and rim properly assembled. Unmounted tires being inflated or were to separate. TURBOCHARGER In certain types of engine service, the turbocharger air inlet hose must be removed so other parts are accessible for service or repairs. When the air inlet hose is removed, THE TURBOCHARGER IMPELLER IS EXPOSED AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR ENGINE DAMAGE.
Engine operation creates a vacuum in the compressor strong enough to suck objects into the impeller. It imperative to install a safetv shield on the turbocharaer inlet openina whenever air inlet hoses are removed. Failure to follow this precaution could result in serious injury. I-II
