SAFE OPERATION
• To avoid short-circuiting the battery, always remove
the ground cable first and attach the positive cable
first.
• Oil under high pressure can penetrate the skin and
may be harmful to your health if not treated
immediately.
• Leaking hydraulic fluid has enough pressure to
penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries.
Leakages from pinholes can be totally invisible. Do
not use hands for checking for leaks of hydraulic
fluid. Always use a piece of wood or cardboard. It is
strongly recommended to use a face mask or eye
protection.
If injuries occur with leaking fluid, contact a doctor
immediately. This fluid can cause gangrene or
serious allergic reactions.
hydraulic and air-conditioner hoses until the
pressure has been relieved.
• To avoid environmental damage from acid and
heavy metals, dispose of the battery appropriately.
• Observe all laws and regulations concerning the
disposal of used oil, coolants, solvents, hydraulic
fluids, battery acids, and the batteries.
• To avoid fire, do not heat the hydraulic components
(tanks, pipes, hoses, and cylinders) before they
have been drained and washed.
• Use a face mask or eye protection to protect the
eyes and respiratory system against dust and other
foreign particles, as appropriate, or as mandated by
federal, state or local laws or regulations.

• Securely support the machine with stands or
suitable blocking before working underneath.
For your safety, do not work under any hydraulically
supported devices. Hydraulically supported devices
can settle, suddenly leak down, or be accidentally
lowered.
• Always attach a [DO NOT OPERATE] tag
whenever performing any kind of maintenance or
repair.
• Make sure that you have the proper tools on hand.
Do not use flawed or damaged tools, gauges, or
other devices. Always use tools that are appropriate
for the task to be done.
• To prevent personal injury or death, be sure to use
explosion-proof lighting
inspecting, or using fuel, oil, coolant, battery fluid,
and so on.
If you do not use the explosion-proof lighting or if it
should break, it can ignite and cause fire, injury, or
death.
• Prohibit unauthorized persons from entering the
work area to prevent injury caused by debris flying
off of machine parts during grinding, welding, using
a hammer, or other tasks.
• Make sure that the work area is clear and safe. Be
sure to work on a firm, level surface with adequate
lighting.
Work in well-ventilated area if you work indoors.
Make sure that the area is free from any potentially
dangerous conditions such as obstacles, slippery
surfaces, and so on.
• Be sure the machine is clean and free of debris.
– Always remove debris from the machine and
clean it before performing any maintenance or
repair work.
– Before using water to wash or clean the
machine, stop engine and make sure that all
electrical parts and devices are covered. Any
water seepage into electrical wiring on the
machine can cause
malfunction of controls. Never wash the battery,
sensors, connectors, or operator's cabin with
water or steam.
