SAFETY WORKING
(1) Do not work on the machine while under the
influence of alcohol, medication, or other substances
or while fatigued.
(2) Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment
appropriate to the job.
(3) Use tools appropriate to the work. Makeshift tools,
parts, and procedures are not recommended.
(4) When servicing is performed together by two or more
persons, take care to perform all work safely.
(5) Do not work under the machine that is supported
solely by a jack. Always support the machine by
safety stands.

hot water will spout out from radiator. Only remove
radiator cap when cool enough to touch with bare
hands. Slowly loosen the cap to first stop to relieve
pressure before removing completely.
(8) Escaping fluid (fuel or hydraulic oil) under pressure
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or
fuel lines. Tighten all connections before applying
pressure.
