to a serious accident. 8. PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE
A0055160
USE OF LIGHTING
‡ When checking fuel, oil, battery electrolyte, or window washer fluid, always use lighting with anti-
explosion specifications. If such lighting equipment is not used, there is danger of explosion.
‡ If work is carried out in dark places without installing lighting, there is danger of injury, so always
install proper lighting.
‡ Even if it is dark, do not use a lighter or flame instead of lighting. There is danger of starting a
fire, and if the battery gas ignites, it may cause an explosion.
‡ When using the machine as the power supply for the lighting, follow the instructions in this
Operation and Maintenance Manual.
PREVENTION OF FIRE
There is danger of the fuel and battery gas catching fire during maintenance, so always follow the
precautions below when carrying out maintenance.
‡ Store fuel, oil, grease, and other flammable materials away from flame.
‡ Use non-flammable materials as the flushing oil for cleaning parts. Do not use diesel oil or
gasoline. There is danger that they will catch fire.
‡ Never smoke when carrying out inspection or maintenance. Always smoke in the prescribed place.
‡ When checking fuel, oil, battery electrolyte, or window washer fluid, always use lighting with anti-
explosion specifications. Never use lighters or matches as lighting.
‡ When carrying out grinding or welding operations on the
chassis, remove any flammable materials to a safe place.
‡ Be sure that a fire extinguisher is present at the inspection and
maintenance point.
