Prevent Parts From Flying; Store Attachments Safely - Hitachi ZX 170W-3 Workshop Manual

PREVENT PARTS FROM FLYING

• Travel reduction gears are under pressure.
• As pieces may fly off, be sure to keep body and face away
from AIR RELEASE PLUG to avoid injury.
• GEAR OIL is hot. Wait for GEAR OIL to cool, then gradually
loosen AIR RELEASE PLUG to release pressure.

STORE ATTACHMENTS SAFELY

• Stored attachments such as buckets, hydraulic hammers,
and blades can fall and cause serious injury or death.
• Securely store attachments and implements to prevent
falling. Keep children and bystanders away from storage
areas.
SUPPORT MAINTENANCE PROPERLY
• Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause seri-
ous injury or death.
• Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the
proper equipment and experience to perform the job.
Have it done by your authorized dealer or a qualified
repair service.
• Always maintain the correct tire pressure. DO NOT inflate
tire above the recommended pressure.
• When inflating tires, use a chip-on chuck and exten-sion
hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and
not in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage
it available.
• Inspect tires and wheels daily. Do not operate with low
pressure, cuts bubbles, damaged rims, or missing lug
bolts and nuts.
• Never cut or weld on an inflated tire or rim assembly. Heat
from welding could cause an increase in pressure and
may result in tire explosion.
