DO NOT override any of the safety features of the
MHP15J.
Operator Maintenance Precautions
CAUTION
DO NOT use your hand to search for
hydraulic oil leaks. High pressure hydraulic
oil can easily cut and penetrate your skin — a
very serious injury that requires immediate
attention by a medical specialist trained in
that type of injury. Use a piece of cardboard
or wood to search for hydraulic oil leaks.
DO NOT attempt repairs unless you are
trained. Refer to manuals and experienced
repair personnel for help.
Fuel Handling Precautions
DO NOT smoke or permit open flames while fueling
or near fueling operations.
Never remove the fuel cap or refuel a gasoline en-
gine while the engine is running or hot. Never allow
fuel to spill on hot machine components.
Maintain control of the fuel filler nozzle when filling
the tank.
DO NOT fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for
expansion.
Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
Tighten the fuel tank cap securely. If the fuel cap is
lost, replace it with an approved cap from Snorkel.
Use of a non-approved cap without proper venting
may result in pressurization of the tank.
Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
For diesel engines, use the correct fuel grade for
the operating season.
Safety Decals and Placards
There are several safety decals and placards on
the MHP15J. Their locations and descriptions are
shown in this section. Take time to study them.
CAUTION
Be sure that all the safety decals and
placards on the MHP15J are legible. Clean or
replace them if you cannot read the words or
see the pictures. Clean with soap & water
and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents.
You MUST replace a decal or placard if it is
damaged, missing, or cannot be read. If it is
on a part that is replaced, make sure a new
decal or placard is installed on the replaced
MHP15J – 11995A
part. See your Snorkel dealer for new decals
and placards.
NOTE
Refer to Placards and Decals Inspection Chart
and Drawing in the "Pre-operational Inspection"
chapter 7, for part numbers, location, and
required quantities of all placards and decals.
