TAKE TIME TO PROVIDE GOOD VISIBILITY
Halt work if visibility is poor. Strong rains, snow, fog and extremely dusty conditions can all obscure visibility
so badly that it is best to wait for weather to change or dust to settle before continuing operation.
Night work in areas of limited visibility should be halted if installation of extra work lights on machine (or
work area) is necessary.
Keep dirt and dust off of windows and off lens surfaces of work lights. Stop working if lights, windows or
mirrors need cleaning or adjustment.
FUEL, OIL AND HYDRAULIC FLUID FIRE
HAZARDS
Add fuel, oil, antifreeze and hydraulic fluid to
machine only in a well ventilated area. Machine
must be parked with controls, lights and
switches turned "OFF." Engine must be "OFF"
and any flames, glowing embers, auxiliary
heating units or spark causing equipment must
be doused, turned "OFF" and/or kept well clear
of machine.
Static electricity can produce dangerous sparks
at fuel filling nozzle. In very cold, dry weather or
other conditions that could produce static
discharge, keep tip of fuel nozzle in constant
contact with neck of fuel filling nozzle, to provide
a ground.
Keep fuel and other fluid reservoir caps tight
and do not start engine until caps have been
secured.
BOOST STARTING OR CHARGING ENGINE
BATTERIES
Turn "OFF" all electrical equipment before
connecting leads to battery. This includes
electrical switches on battery charger or boost
starting equipment.
When boost starting from another machine or
vehicle do not allow two machines to touch.
Wear safety glasses or goggles while required
parallel battery connections – positive to
positive and negative to negative – are made.
24 volt battery units consisting of two series
connected twelve volt batteries have a cable
connecting one positive terminal on one of the
12 volt batteries to a negative terminal on the other battery. Booster or charger cable connections must be
made between nonseries connected positive terminals and between negative terminal of booster battery
and metal frame of machine being boosted or charged. Refer to procedure and illustration in “Starting with
Auxiliary Batteries” on page 3-8.
Connect positive cable first when installing cables and disconnect negative cable first when removing
them. Final cable connection, at metal frame of machine being charged or boost started, should be as far
away from batteries as possible.
