Display a "DO NOT OPERATE" alert sign
Severe injury could result if an unauthorized
person should start the engine or touch
controls during inspection or maintenance.
• Before performing maintenance, stop the
engine, remove the key and take it with
you.
• Display a "DO NOT OPERATE" alert sign
on easy-to-see locations such as on the
starter switch or on control levers.
Use the correct tools
Do not use damaged or weakened tools or
tools designed for other purposes. Use tools
appropriate for the work involved.
Replace safety-critical parts periodically
• Replace fuel hoses periodically. Fuel hoses
wear out over time, even if they do not
show any symptom of wear.
• Regardless of the replacement schedule,
replace immediately if a symptom of wear
is found.
Refer to "List of safety-critical parts" for
further details.
Explosionproof lighting
To prevent an ignition or explosion, use
explosion-proof lights when inspecting fuel,
oil, coolant or battery fluid. Otherwise,
explosion could result causing serious injury
or death.
