Prevent Burns

Hot spraying fluids:
 After operation, engine coolant is hot and under pressure.
Hot water or steam is contained in the engine, water tank
and heater lines.
Skin contact with escaping hot water or steam can cause
severe burns.
 Avoid possible injury from hot spraying water. Do not
remove the water tank cap until the engine is cool.
When opening, turn the cap slowly to the stop. Allow all
pressure to be released before removing the cap.
 The hydraulic oil tank is pressurized. Again, be sure to
release all pressure before removing the cap.
Hot fluids and surfaces:
 Engine oil, gear oil and hydraulic oil also become hot during
operation.
The engine, hoses, lines and other parts become hot as well.
 Wait for the oil and components to cool before starting
any maintenance or inspection work.
