5.
Do not park machine in sun for long periods of time. If
possible, park machine under cover to protect it from sun,
dirt and dust.
A.
Cover machine if no suitable shelter is available.
Protect engine compartment and hydraulics from dirt
and debris.
B.
In hot, damp climates, corrosion will occur on all parts
of machine and will be accelerated during rainy
season. Rust and paint blisters will appear on metal
surfaces and fungus growth on other surfaces.
C.
Protect all unfinished, exposed surfaces with a film of
preservative oil. Protect cables and terminals with
ignition insulation compound. Apply paint or suitable
rust preventive to damaged surfaces to protect them
from rust and corrosion.
Operation In Dusty and Sandy Areas
Operation of machine can cause dust in almost any area.
However, when in predominantly dusty or sandy areas,
additional precautions must be taken.
1.
Keep cooling system fins and cooling areas clean. Blow
out with compressed air, if possible, as often as necessary.
2.
Use care when servicing fuel system to prevent dust and
sand from entering tank.
3.
Service air cleaner at frequent intervals, check air
restriction indicator daily and keep dust cup and dust valve
clean. Prevent dust and sand from entering engine parts
and compartments as much as possible.
4.
Lubricate and perform services outlined on current
lubrication chart on machine and "Lubrication and Service
Chart" on page 4-14. Clean all lubrication fittings before
applying lubricant. Sand mixed with lubricant becomes
very abrasive and accelerates wear on parts.
5.
Protect machine from dust and sand as much as possible.
Park machine under cover to keep dust and sand from
damaging unit.
WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
Wear goggles when using compressed air to prevent
face or eye injury.
