PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE SAFETY WARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions.. PRECAUTIONS WITH HIGH PRESSURE OIL Do not forget that the work equipment circuits are always under pressure. Do not add oil, drain oil, or carry out maintenance or inspec- tion before completely releasing the internal pressure. If oil is leaking under high pressure from small holes, it is dan- gerous if the jet of high-pressure oil hits your skin or enters your eyes. Always wear safety glasses and thick gloves, and use a piece of cardboard or a sheet of wood to check for oil leakage.

A055190A PRECAUTIONS WHEN CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE AT HIGH TEMPERATURE OR HIGH PRESSURE Immediately after stopping operations, the engine cooling water and oil at all parts is at high temperature and under high pressure. In this condition, if the cap is removed, or the oil or water are drained, or the filters are replaced, this may result in burns or other injury. Wait for the temperature to go down, then carry out the inspection and maintenance in accordance with the procedures given in this manual. Cleaning inside or cooling system, see “WHEN REQUIRED” on page 192.
Checking cooling water level, hydraulic oil level, see “CHECK BEFORE STARTING” on page 204. Checking lubricating oil level, adding oil, see “MAINTE- NANCE SCHEDULE CHART” on page 185. Changing oil, replacing filters, see “MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE CHART” on page 185. 40
