Refueling Safety
1. Engine fuel is highly flammable. Handle with care.
2. Fill fuel tank outdoors.
3. Stop the engine before refueling. Allow engine to
cool for five minutes. Clean up spilled fuel before
restarting engine.
4. Do not overfill the fuel tank.
5. If fuel is spilled, wipe it away carefully and wait until
the fuel has dried before starting the engine.
6. Do not refuel the machine while
smoking or when near open flame
or sparks.
7. After refueling, make sure that the fuel cap is
secured to prevent spillage.
8. Prevent fires by keeping machine clean of
accumulated trash, grease, and debris.
2.9
Tire Safety
1. Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting
a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an explosion
which may result in serious injury or death.
2. Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the
proper equipment and experience to do the job.
3. Have a qualified tire dealer or repair service
perform required tire maintenance.
4. When replacing worn tires, make sure they
meet the original tire specifications. Never install
undersized tires.
2.10 Hydraulic System Safety
1. Make sure that all the components in the hydraulic
system are kept in good condition and are clean.
2. Before applying pressure to the
system, make sure all components
are tight, and that lines, hoses and
couplings are not damaged.
3. Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the
hydraulic lines, fittings or hoses by using tapes,
clamps or cements. The hydraulic system operates
under extremely high pressure. Such repairs can
fail suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe
condition.
4. Wear proper hand and eye
protection when searching for a
high-pressure hydraulic leak. Use
a piece of wood or cardboard as
a backstop instead of hands to
isolate and identify a leak.
5. If injured by a concentrated high-pressure
stream of hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention
immediately. Serious infection or toxic reaction
can develop from hydraulic fluid piercing the skin
surface.
6. Relieve pressure in the hydraulic system before
working on it.
2.11 Gas Engine Safety
CAUTION!
Before starting engine, review the operating and
maintenance instructions in the engine manual.
1. DO NOT operate engine in an enclosed area.
Exhaust gases contain odorless and deadly carbon
monoxide that can cause death by asphyxiation.
2. DO NOT place hands or feet near moving or
rotating parts.
3. DO NOT store, spill, or use gasoline near an
open flame, or devices such as a stove, furnace,
or water heater which use a pilot light or devices
which can create a spark.
4. DO NOT refuel indoors where area is not well
ventilated.
5. DO NOT refuel while engine is running. Allow
engine to cool for five minutes before refueling.
Store fuel in approved safety containers.
