PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN DURING MAINTENANCE
2.8.10 RULES FOR REFUELLING AND
ADDING OIL
Keep away from naked flames while refuelling or adding oil.
q
Spilled fuel or oil make the ground slippery and may cause
q
accidents; clean any dirty area immediately and carefully.
Always tighten the fuel tank and the hydraulic circuit oil sa-
q
fety caps securely.
Do not use fuel to clean any part of the machine that is dirty
q
with oil or dust.
Always top up the fuel and oil tanks in properly ventilated
q
areas and refrain from smoking.
When refuelling, hold the fuel gun firmly and keep it constan-
q
tly in contact with the filler until you have finished, in order to
avoid sparks due to static electricity.
Do not fill the tank completely, in order to leave room for the
q
fuel to expand.
2.8.11 CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVEL
IN THE RADIATOR
Let the engine and the radiator cool down before checking
q
the coolant level.
If it is necessary to remove the cap with hot engine, wear su-
q
itable clothes and protections and loosen the cap slowly, in
order to release the pressure gradually.
2.8.12 USING LAMPS
Use only homologated explosion-proof lamps to check the
q
fuel, oil, coolant and battery electrolyte levels.
Unsuitable lamps can cause fires or explosions.
