Correction of Machine Problems If any machine problems are found during operation and maintenance (noise, vibration, smell, incorrect gauges, smoke, oil leakage, etc.), or if any abnormal warming alerts are displayed on display monitor, stop the machine immediately and take the necessary corrective actions. Do not operate the machine until problem has been corrected.

Hot Coolant and Oils - Burn Prevention Do not touch any part of an operating engine. Immediately after operations are stopped, coolant, engine oil, and hydraulic oil are at their highest temperatures. The radiator and hydraulic tank are still under pressure. Always wait for temperature to cool down.
Maintenance The machine and some attachments have components that reach high temperatures under normal operating conditions. The primary source of high temperatures are the engine and exhaust system. If damaged or incorrectly maintained, the electrical system can be a source of arcs or sparks. Flammable debris (leaves, straw, etc.) must be removed regularly.

Hydraulic System Check hydraulic tubes, hoses and fittings for damage, wear or for leaks. Hydraulic lines and hoses must be properly routed and have adequate support and secure clamps. Leaks can cause fires. Never use a flame or bare skin to check for leaks. Tighten or replace any parts that show leakage.
Page 20
Never Use Ether Starting Aids Do not use ether or starting fluids on any engine that has glow plugs, or an electric grid type manifold heater. These starting aids can cause an explosion and result in death or serious injury. Use procedures in this manual for connecting battery and for jump-starting.
