6. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS WARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions. 1-4 FIRE PREVENTION FOR FUEL AND OIL Fuel, oil, antifreeze and wind sprayed can be ignited by a flame. Fuel is particularly FLAMMABLE and can be HAZARDOUS. ‡ Keep flame away from flammable fluids. ‡ Stop the engine and do not smoke when refueling. ‡ Tighten all fuel and oil tank caps securely. ‡ Refueling and oiling should be made in well ventilated areas. ‡ Keep oil and fuel in the determined place and do not allow unauthorized persons to enter.
A0055020 A0055040 PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING AT HIGH TEMPERATURE ‡ Immediately after operations are stopped, the engine oil and hydraulic oil are at high temperature and are still under pressure. Attempting to remove the cap, drain the oil or water, or replace the filters may lead to serious burns. Always wait for the temperature to go down, and follow the specified procedures when carrying out these operations. ‡ To prevent hot water from spurting out, stop the engine, wait for the water to cool, then raise the cap lever to relieve the pressure before removing the cap.
(When checking if the water temperature has gone down, put your hand near the front face of the radiator and check the air temperature. Be careful not to touch the radiator.) ‡ To prevent hot oil from spurting out, stop the engine, wait for the oil to cool, then release the pressure reducing lever to relieve the pressure before removing the cap. (When checking if the oil temperature has gone down, put your hand near the front face of the hydraulic tank and check the air temperature. Be careful not to touch the radiator.) A0055050
