Safety Practices
1.6.3

General Hazards

SOLVENTS: Only use approved solvents, and solvents
that are known to be safe for use.
HOUSEKEEPING: Keep the work area and operator's
cab clean and remove all hazards (debris, oil, tools, etc.).
FIRST AID: Immediately clean, dress and report all inju-
ries (cuts, abrasions, burns, etc.), no matter how minor.
Know the location of a first-aid kit, and know how to
use it.
CLEANLINESS: Wear eye protection, and clean all com-
ponents with a high-pressure or steam cleaner before at-
tempting service.
When removing hydraulic components, plug hose ends
and connections to prevent excess leakage and contam-
ination. Place a suitable catch basin beneath the vehicle
to capture fluid run-off.
1.6.4

Operational Hazards

OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS: Before operating
the vehicle, carefully read, understand and follow the
Owners/Operators Manual.
ENGINE: Stop the engine before performing any service.
DANGEROUS START: Place Accident Prevention Tags
on both the ignition switch and steering wheel before at-
tempting to perform any service or maintenance. Discon-
nect battery leads. Place a warning sign on vehicles that
are dangerous to start, if leaving the vehicle unattended.
VENTILATION: Avoid prolonged engine operation in en-
closed areas without adequate ventilation.
RADIATOR CAP: Always wear steam-resistant, heat-
protective gloves when opening the radiator cap. Cover
cap with a clean, thick cloth and turn slowly to the first
stop to relieve pressure.
SOFT SURFACES AND SLOPES: NEVER work on a
vehicle that is parked on a soft surface or slope (inclined
ground or hill). The vehicle must be on a hard, level
surface with the wheels blocked when performing any
service. Obtain assistance, block all wheels, and add
supports if necessary before beginning any work.
SUPPORTS AND STRAPS: Install safe, stable supports,
slings or straps, beneath or around a component or struc-
tural member before beginning any work.
1.6
FLUID PRESSURE: Before loosening any hydraulic or
diesel fuel component, hose or tube, turn engine OFF.
Wear heavy, protective gloves and eye protection.
NEVER check for leaks using any part of your body; use
a piece of cardboard or wood instead. If injured, seek
medical attention immediately. Diesel fuel leaking under
pressure can explode. Hydraulic fluid and diesel fuel
leaking under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing
infection, gangrene, and other serious personal injury.
Relieve all pressure before disconnecting any compo-
nent, part, line or hose. Slowly loosen parts and allow re-
lease of residual pressure before removing any part or
component. Before starting engine or applying pressure,
use components, parts, hoses and pipes that are in good
condition, connected properly, and tightened to the prop-
er torque. Capture fluid in an appropriate container and
dispose of it in accordance with prevailing environmental
regulations.
PRESSURE TESTING: When conducting any test, only
use test equipment that is correctly calibrated and in good
condition. Use the correct equipment in the proper man-
ner, and make changes or repairs as indicated by the test
procedures to achieve the desired results.
LEAVING VEHICLE: Lower the attachment to the ground
before leaving the vehicle.
TIRE PRESSURE: Always keep tires inflated to the prop-
er pressure to help prevent dangerous travel and load-
handling situations. DO NOT over-inflate tires.

EMERGENCY EXIT REAR WINDOW

The rear window in the enclosed cab can be used as an
emergency exit by removing the latch pins (1) located on
the two window latches (2). Once the latch pins have
been removed, the window (3) can be swung open.
