the cab is properly supported.
Unless you are i
nstructed otherwise, never attempt
adjustments while the machine is moving or while
the engine is running.
Never jump across the starter solenoid terminals
in order to start the engine. Unexpected machine

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.
