Never Use Ether Starting Aids
Do not use ether or starting fluids on any engine that has glow
plugs, or an electric grid type manifold heater. These starting
aids can cause an explosion and result in death or serious
injury.
Use procedures in this manual for connecting battery and for
jump-starting.
Welding and Grinding
Always clean machine and attachment, disconnect battery
switch, and disconnect wiring from electronic controllers before
welding. Cover rubber hoses, battery and all other flammable
parts. Keep a fire extinguisher near machine when welding.
Toxic dust or gas can be produced when grinding or welding
painted parts. Grinding or welding painted parts must be done in
a well ventilated area. Wear a dust mask when grinding painted
parts.
Dust generated from repairing nonmetallic parts such as hoods,
fenders or covers can be flammable or explosive.
Repair such components in a well ventilated area away from
flames or sparks.
Do not weld on lines or on tanks that contain flammable fluids.
Do not flame cut lines or tanks that contain flammable fluid.
Clean any such lines or tanks thoroughly with a nonflammable
solvent before welding or flame cutting.
If a Fire Occurs
If a fire occurs:
•
Do not attempt to move machine or continue
operations.
•
Turn starter switch to "O" (OFF) position to stop
engine.
•
Use handrails and steps to get off machine.
•
Immediately call for help or fire station.
•
When using a fire extinguisher, always aim
extinguisher at base of fire.
•
If an optional fire extinguishing system is in place, be
familiar with its operating procedures.
NOTE:
Depending on job conditions, other
procedures could be necessary if a fire
occurs.
