SAFETY
FIG. 7: Gases from a battery can explode. Keep any
open flames or sparks away from top of a battery. Do not
smoke in battery charging areas.
Never check battery charge by placing a metal object
across terminal posts. Use a voltmeter or a hydrometer.
Improper jumper cable connections can cause an
explosion that can result in injury.
Do not charge a frozen battery. This may cause an
explosion.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION PREVENTION
FIG. 8: All fuels, most lubricants, and some coolant
mixtures are flammable.
Flammable fluids leaking or spilled onto hot surfaces or
onto electrical components can cause a fire.
Fire may cause personal injury and property damage.
Remove all flammable materials such as fuel, oil, and
debris from machine.
Do not allow any flammable materials to accumulate on
machine.
Store fuels and lubricants in properly marked containers
away from unauthorized persons. Store oily rags and any
flammable materials in protective containers.
Do not smoke in areas used for storing flammable
materials.
Do not operate machine near any flame.
Exhaust shields protect hot exhaust components from oil
spray or fuel spray in case of a break in a line, hose, or in
a seal. Exhaust shields must be installed correctly.
Do not weld on lines or tanks that contain flammable
fluids. Do not flame cut lines or tanks containing
flammable fluid. Clean any such lines or tanks thoroughly
with a nonflammable solvent prior to welding or flame
cutting.
Check all electrical wires daily. Repair any wires loose or
frayed before operating machine. Clean and tighten all
electrical connections.
Dust that is generated from repairing nonmetallic hoods
or nonmetallic fenders can be flammable and/or
explosive. Repair such components in a well ventilated
area away from open flames or sparks.
Inspect all lines and hoses for wear or for deterioration.
Hoses must be properly routed. Lines and hoses must
have adequate support and secure clamps. Tighten all
connections to recommended torque.
