Safety
GRADER SPECIFIC
PRECAUTIONS
Hot Material Precautions
• Wear proper protective gear for face, hands, feet, and
body when operating the motor grader.
• Allow grader to cool before repairing or maintaining
working components.
• When hot asphalt touches skin, flush area immediately
with cold water. Do Not apply ice to the affected area.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ASPHALT CEMENT
with products containing solvents or ammonia. Natural
seperation will occur in about 48 to 72 hours. Get
medical attention as soon as possible.
• DO NOT remove radiator cap, drain plugs, service
grease fittings, or pressure taps while engine is hot.
Add coolant to the radiator and perform other services
only when the engine is stopped and fully cooled.
Hydraulic Systems Precautions
• Ensure all components are in good working condition.
Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened, or crimped
hoses and metal lines.
• Do Not attempt makeshift repairs using tape, clamps,
or cements. The hydraulic system operates under
extremely high pressure and such repairs could
cause serious injury.
• Wear proper hand and eye protection when checking
for a high pressure leak. Use a piece of wood or
cardboard as a back stop to isolate and identify leaks.
Hydraulic oil under pressure can
cause serious personal injury. Check for
oil leaks with a piece of cardboard. Do not
expose hands to possible high-pressure oil.
Turn off engine before attempting to tighten
oil lines and fittings.
• Escaping pressurized hydraulic fluid has force
sufficient to penetrate the skin which could cause
serious personal injury. Ensure all pressure is relieved
before disconnecting line, hoses, or valves.
• If injury from concentrated high pressure steam
or hydraulic fluid occurs, seek medical attention
immediately. Injuries resulting from hydraulic fluid
penetrating the skin's surface can result in serious
infections or toxic reactions.

Refueling Precautions
• When refueling, keep hose nozzle or funnel in contact
with fuel tank metal in order to avoid possibility of an
electrical spark lighting the fuel.
• Maintain control of filler nozzle.
• Do Not overfill fuel tank as overflow creates a fire
hazard when spilled on hot components.
• Do Not smoke when refueling and never refuel while
engine is running. Fuel is highly flammable and should
be handled with care. Death or serious injury can
occur due to explosion and/or fire.
• Do Not fill tank to capacity. Allow room for expansion
to reduce risk of fuel expanding and spilling from tank.
• Tighten fuel cap securely. Should fuel cap be lost,
replace it with an original manufacturer's approved
cap. Pressureization of the tank may result from use of
a non-approved cap.
• Prevent fires by keeping grader clean and free of
accumulated debris, grease, and spilled fuel.
• Use ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD) only.
Battery Precautions
• Keep all sparks and flames away from batteries, as
gas given off by electrolytes is explosive.
• Acid propelled by an explosion can cause blindness
if it comes in contact with eyes. Always wear safety
glasses when working near batteries.
• In case of contact with battery electrolyte solution,
wash affected area immediately with soap and water.
Chemicals can cause burns.
• Always disconnect the battery ground cable before
working on the electrical system to avoid injury
caused by spark or short circuit. Electrical shock and
burns can occur.
• To avoid electrolyte loss, Do Not tip batteries more
than 45 degrees.
• Use jumper cables ONLY in recommended manner.
Improper use can result in battery explosion or
unexpected motor grader movement.
