This symbol means: • ATTENTION! • BECOME ALERT! • YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Carefully read and follow the safety message accompanying this symbol.
SAFETY 1.2 Signal Words Three signal words, DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION, are used to alert you to hazardous situations. Signal words are selected using the following guidelines: DANGER Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
SAFETY 1.3 General Safety CAUTION The following are general farm safety precautions that should be part of your operating procedure for all types of machinery. Protect yourself. • When assembling, operating, and servicing machinery, wear all protective clothing and personal safety devices that could be necessary for job at hand.

Drain the water and sediment from the separator daily or at any time the Water In Fuel (WIF) light illuminates on the HPT display.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING 5.7.3 Checking Hydraulic Oil Hydraulic oil is used to transmit force under high pressure. The oil also lubricates, cools, and cleans the system, thus the cleanliness and quality of the oil is highly important to ensure long system life. It is extremely important to avoid contamination when service and regular maintenance is performed.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING 5.7.5 Checking Engine Coolant Level Check coolant level in the pressurized coolant tank daily. WARNING To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of the machine, always stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for any reason.
