Fueling
Use caution when you are refueling a machine.
Fuel is flammable and can catch fire if it is brought close to a
flame.
Stop engine and let it cool before adding fuel. Do not smoke
while you are refueling a machine. Do not refuel a machine near
flames or sparks. Fill fuel tank outdoors.
Keep fuel and other fluid reservoir caps tight and do not start
engine until caps have been secured.
Store fuels and lubricants in properly marked containers away
from unauthorized personnel. Store oily rags and any flammable
materials in protective containers.
Static electricity can produce dangerous sparks at fuel filling
nozzle. In very cold, dry weather or other conditions that could
produce a static discharge, keep tip of fuel nozzle in constant
contact with neck of fuel filling nozzle, to provide a ground.
Always place plastic fuel containers on the ground before filling.
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, set battery disconnect
switch to "OFF" position, 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 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.
