Operation and Maintenance Manual
26 31200243
Safety Section
Never jump across the starter solenoid terminals in
order to start the engine. Unexpected machine
movement could result.
Whenever there are equipment control linkages the
clearance in the linkage area will change with the
movement of the equipment or the machine. Stay clear
of areas that may have a sudden change in clearance
with machine movement or equipment movement.
If it is necessary to remove guards in order to perform
maintenance, always install the guards after the
maintenance is performed.
Keep objects away from moving fan blades. The fan
blade will throw objects or cut objects.
Do not use a kinked wire cable or a frayed wire cable.
Wear gloves when you handle wire cable.
When you strike a retainer pin with force, the retainer
pin can fly out. The loose retainer pin can injure
personnel. Make sure that the area is clear of people
when you strike a retainer pin. To avoid injury to your
eyes, wear protective glasses when you strike a
retainer pin.
Chips or other debris can fly off an object when you
strike the object. Make sure that no one can be injured
by flying debris before striking any object.
Burn Prevention
Do not touch any part of an operating engine. Allow
the engine to cool before any maintenance is
performed on the engine. Relieve all pressure in the air
system, in the oil system, in the lubrication system, in the
fuel system, or in the cooling system before any lines,
fittings or related items are disconnected.
Coolant
When the engine is at operating temperature, the
engine coolant is hot. The coolant is also under
pressure. The radiator and all lines to the heaters or to
the engine contain hot coolant.
Any contact with hot coolant or with steam can cause
severe burns. Allow cooling system components to cool
before the cooling system is drained.
Check the coolant level only after the engine has been
stopped.
Ensure that the filler cap is cool before removing the
filler cap. The filler cap must be cool enough to touch
with a bare hand. Remove the filler cap slowly in order
to relieve pressure.
Cooling system conditioner contains alkali. Alkali can
cause personal injury. Do not allow alkali to contact the
skin, the eyes, or the mouth.
Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts.
Oils
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury.
Do not allow hot oil to contact the skin. Also, do not
allow hot components to contact the skin.
Remove the hydraulic tank filler cap only after the
engine has been stopped. The filler cap must be cool
enough to touch with a bare hand. Follow the standard
procedure in this manual in order to remove the
hydraulic tank filler cap.
Batteries
Electrolyte is an acid. Electrolyte can cause personal
injury. Do not allow electrolyte to contact the skin or the
eyes. Always wear protective glasses for servicing
batteries. Wash hands after touching the batteries and
connectors. Use of gloves is recommended.
Fire Prevention and Explosion
Prevention
Illustration 24 g00704000
All fuels, most lubricants, and some coolant mixtures are
flammable.
Flammable fluids that are 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 the machine. Do not allow any flammable
materials to accumulate on the 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 that are used for
storing flammable materials.
