4 SAFE OPERATION
-
(1) Hydraulic outlet (if equipped)
5. PARKING THE VEHICLE
1. Make sure the HYDRAULIC OUTLET is off (if
equipped), lower all implements to the ground, place
all control levers in their neutral positions, set the
parking brake, stop the engine, and remove the key.
2. Make sure that the vehicle has come to a complete
stop before dismounting.
3. Avoid parking on steep slopes, if at all possible park on
a firm and level surface; if not, park across a slope with
chock the wheels and always with attachment on the
ground.
Failure to comply with this warning may allow the
vehicle to move and could cause injury or death.
(1) Parking brake lever
6. TRANSPORTING
1. Disengage power to attachment(s) when transporting
or not in use.
2. Do not tow this vehicle. Use a suitable truck or trailer
when transporting on public roads.
3. Use extra care when loading or unloading the vehicle
into a trailer or truck.
7. SERVICING THE VEHICLE
Before servicing the vehicle, park it on a firm, flat and level
surface, set the parking brake, lower all implements to the
ground, place the range gear shift lever in neutral, stop the
engine and remove the key.
1. Allow the vehicle time to cool off before working on or
near the engine, muffler, radiator, etc.
2. Always stop the engine before refueling. Avoid spills
and overfilling.
3. Do not smoke when working around battery or when
refueling. Keep all sparks and flames away from
battery and fuel tank. The battery presents an
explosive hazard, because it gives off hydrogen and
oxygen especially when recharging.
4. Before "jump starting" a dead battery, read and follow
all of the instructions. (See "JUMP STARTING" in
"OPERATING THE ENGINE" section.)
5. Keep first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all
times.
6. Disconnect the battery's ground cable before working
on or near electric components.
7. To avoid the possibility of battery explosion, do not use
or charge the refillable type battery if the fluid level is
below the LOWER (lower limit level) mark. Check the
fluid level regularly and add distilled water as required
so that the fluid level is between the UPPER and
LOWER marks.
8. To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the battery's ground cable (-) first
and reconnect it last.
(1) Battery
9. Do not remove radiator cap while coolant is hot. When
cool, slowly rotate cap to the first stop and allow
sufficient time for excess pressure to escape before
removing the cap completely. This vehicle has a
coolant recovery tank, add coolant or water to the tank,
not the radiator. (See "Checking Coolant Level" in
"DAILY CHECK" in "PERIODIC SERVICE" section.)
