Unauthorized Machine Modifications

Do not perform any unauthorized machine modifications.
Do not add additional weight (attachments, etc.) to the machine. Do not exceed the gross weight.

Escape Tool

NOTE: Inspect the escape tool periodically. Replace the escape tool if it appears damaged or unable to break
the cab window for emergency exit.
For cab models only, as a precaution, always keep an escape tool in the cab.

Fire Safety

Fuel, oil, and some engine coolants are flammable. Observe the following:
• Keep open flames, airborne sparks, and burning embers away from the machine.
• Shut down the engine and do not smoke when refueling or servicing the machine.
• Add oil, fuel, or engine coolant in a well-ventilated area.
• Clean up any spilled fluids immediately.
• Check the machine daily for debris buildup.

Electrical Fires

Short circuits, damaged wiring, or overcharging batteries can cause fires. Observe the following:
• Check the wiring on the machine for damage when doing a prestart check. Contact a SANY dealer for
repairs or replacement of any damaged wiring.
• Make sure the battery is operating in its recommended range.
• Never install aftermarket electrical equipment without approval from a SANY dealer.

Fire Extinguisher

For cab models only, always keep a fire extinguisher in the cab. Read the instructions on the fire extinguisher
carefully, and know how to use it in an emergency.
Inspect the fire extinguisher daily. If damaged, replace the extinguisher immediately.
Make sure the fire extinguisher is within the listed inspection period. Replace the fire extinguisher immediately if it
has reached its expiration date.
The fire extinguisher must be at least a 2.5 lb. Class ABC rated fire extinguisher (National Fire Protection
Association [NFPA] 10 Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers).
