Maintenance Preparation - Barreto 13STKH Owner's Manual

DANGER: BEFORE beginning any maintenance on the STK that requires a guard be removed or
exposes a part that moves during operation, prevent engine start-up.
WARNING: The engine, exhaust pipe, engine oil and hydraulic system get hot during operation. Allow
adequate time to cool before beginning maintenance.
Only trained and qualified personnel should perform maintenance or repairs of the STK or the battery.
Before any maintenance is performed engine start-up must be prevented, to eliminate the
risk of someone starting the engine while the maintenance technician is still working.
Prevent engine start-up:
• TURN ALL ENGINES SWITCHES OFF: Turn / flip the engine kill switch, located on the
engine to OFF. Turn the key to the off position and remove the key, store where no one can
attempt to start the STK.
• DISCONNECT THE BATTERY: See: BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS first.
Disconnect the negative battery cable at the STK chassis. Use zip ties to hold the cable such that
the cable terminal does not contact any part of the STK.
• ZIP TIE THE PULL STARTER: Use a zip tie to tie the pull start handle so that no can attempt
to start the engine.
WARNING: The battery contains sulfuric acid that can cause blindness and severe burns. Avoid contact
with eyes, skin and clothing. Read the section: BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, in this manual.
DANGER: Hydraulic oil is hot and under extreme pressure, which will burn and cut.
DO NOT operate machine if it is believed or known to be leaking.
DO NOT check for hydraulic oil leaks while engine is running.
DO NOT check for hydraulic oil leaks with your hand or any other body part.
If cut or injected with hydraulic oil seek medical attention immediately, even if injury appears to be
minor. If hydraulic oil does not break skin, contact is not expected to cause prolonged or significant
irritation.
