•
Keep all fuels and lubricant in adequate con-
tainers.
•
Never smoke in the area where refueling is tak-
ing place or in the space for handling battery
electrolytes and other inflammable materials.
•
Oil leaked to a hot surface or electronic compo-
nent may cause a fire.
•
Do not operate the machine if there is an oil leak.
Repair the source of the oil leak, and wipe clean any leaked oil before operating the machine.
•
Keep the electric connectors clean at all times, and check the connections for signs of loosening at
regular intervals.
•
Do not weld or take a flame cutting pipe or tube
through which gas or any inflammable fluid
must flow. Check every pipe or tube for signs of
abrasion and deterioration, and replace it if
damaged.
•
Dust or particles generated when repairing the
non-metallic hood or fender are inflammable or
explosive.
Repair such parts in a ventilated area well away
from flames or sparks, and be sure to wear suit-
able PPE(Personal Protective Equipment).
(2) Prevention of explosion
The following actions should be taken to minimize the risk of explosion:
•
Preheating function is provided to certain ma-
chines that are used in extremely cold environ-
ments.
•
Never use starting aid fluid in a low-temperature
environment as it can have an adverse effect on
the engine performance and may cause an ex-
plosion.
•
Do not attempt to recharge a frozen battery.
Forcibly recharging a frozen battery may result
in an explosion.
•
Great care should be exercised when handling
the batteries. Never let a tool make contact with
the positive pole and the frame of the machine
simultaneously.
Sparks may be generated, resulting in an explo-
sion.
•
The voltage of the battery to be recharged should be identical to the voltage of the recharger.
Incorrect voltage may cause overheating and explosion.
•
Do not use or charge the battery if the level of electrolytes in the battery is lower than the minimum
level.
Regularly check the electrolyte level, and refill the distilled water to the maximum level.
