KX080-4, WSM
• The engine, muffler, radiator, hydraulic line, etc.,
have parts that remain very hot even after the engine
has been stopped. Be sure to avoid these parts, as
touching them can result in burns. Radiator coolant,
hydraulic fluid and oil also remain hot. Therefore, do
not attempt to remove caps and plugs, etc., before
these fluids have sufficiently cooled.
• Make sure the coolant temperature has dropped
sufficiently before opening the radiator cap.
Also, since the inside of the radiator is pressurized,
when removing the cap, first loosen it to release the
pressure before removing the cap completely.
• The pressure in the hydraulic circuit stays at
pressure even after the engine stops.
Before removing parts, such as hydraulic devices
from the machine, first release the pressure. Please
note that when releasing residual pressure, the
machine itself and/or implements may move without
warning, so be very careful when releasing the
pressure.
• Oil gushing out under pressure is extremely
dangerous as it may pierce your skin or your eyes.
Similarly, oil leaking out of pinholes is not visible.
So when checking for oil leaks, always wear safety
glasses and gloves and use a piece of cardboard or
a wood block to shield yourself from oil.
No Smoking or Open Flames while Fueling
• Fuel is extremely flammable and dangerous.
Never smoke near fuel. If fuel is spilled on the
machine, its engine, or electrical parts, it may cause
a fire. If fuel is spilled, wipe it all up immediately.
• Never smoke while filling the machine with fuel.
And always tighten the fuel cap securely and wipe up
any spilled fuel.
• Always wear safety glasses and gloves when
handling the battery.
• The gas generated by the battery is flammable.
Never weld or use tools like a grinder near the
battery. And never smoke near it.
• When disconnecting the battery, always disconnect
the negative cable first. When connecting the
battery, always connect the positive cable first.
