PREVENT BURNS

Hot spraying fluids:
•
After operation, engine coolant is hot and under pressure.
Hot water or steam is contained in the engine, radiator
and heater lines.
Skin contact with escaping hot water or steam can cause
severe burns.
•
To prevent possible injury from hot spraying water,
stop the engine. Begine to work after the engine and
radiator are sufficiently cooled
•
DO NOT remove the radiator cap until the engine is
cool. When opening, turn the cap slowly to the stop.
Allow all pressure to be release before removing the
cap.
•
The hydraulic oil tank is pressurized. Again, be sure to
release all pressure by slowly removing the cap.
Hot fluids and surfaces:
•
Engine oil, gear oil and hydraulic oil also becomes hot
during operation.
The engine, hoses, lines and other parts become hot as
well.
•
Wait for the oil and components to cool before starting
any maintenance or inspection work.
