MAINTENANCE
DO NOT DROP THINGS INSIDE MACHINE:
When opening inspection windows or the oil filler port of the tank to carry out inspection, be careful not to drop
nuts, bolts, or tools inside the machine.
If such things are dropped inside the machine, it will cause damage and malfunction of the machine, and will
lead to failure. If you drop anything inside the machine, always remove it immediately.
Do not put unnecessary things in your pockets. Carry only things which are necessary for inspection.
DUSTY WORKSITES:
When working at dusty worksites, do as follows:
Inspect the air cleaner clogging monitor frequently to see if the air cleaner is clogged.
Clean the air cleaner element at a shorter interval than specified.
Clean the radiator core frequently to avoid clogging.
Clean and replace the fuel filter frequently.
Clean electrical components, especially the starting motor and alternator, to avoid accumulation of dust.
When inspecting or changing the oil, move the machine to a place that is free of dust to prevent dirt from get-
ting into the oil.
AVOID MIXING OILS:
Never mix different kinds of oil. If a different type of oil has to be added, drain the old oil and replace all the oil with
the new type of oil.
PRECAUTIONS FOR OPENING AND CLOSING ENGINE SIDE COVER
Open the engine side cover all the way and ensure it is
locked open before letting go.
When standing on the track to open the engine side cover,
bend at the knees and open the cover in a standing posi-
tion to avoid back strain.
Close the engine side cover before opening or closing the
cab door.
