leaks. Hydraulic tubes and hoses must be properly routed
and have adequate support and secure clamps. Tighten
or replace any parts that show leakage.
Always clean fluid spills. Do not use gasoline or diesel
fuel for cleaning parts. Use commercial nonflammable
solvents.
Fueling
P200084
Stop the engine and let it cool before adding fuel. No
smoking! Do not refuel a machine near open flames or
sparks. Fill the fuel tank outdoors.
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) poses a greater static
ignition hazard than earlier diesel formulations with
higher sulfur content. Avoid death or serious injury from
fire or explosion. Consult with your fuel or fuel system
supplier to ensure the delivery system is in compliance
with fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding
practices.
Starting
Do not use ether or starting fluids on any engine that has
glow plugs or an air intake heater. These starting aids
can cause explosion and injure you or bystanders.
Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance
Manual for connecting the battery and for jump starting.
Spark Arrester Exhaust System
The spark arrester exhaust system is designed to control
the emission of hot particles from the engine and exhaust
system, but the muffler and the exhaust gases are still
hot.
Check the spark arrester exhaust system regularly to
make sure it is maintained and working properly. Use the
procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for
cleaning the spark arrester muffler (if equipped).
Welding And Grinding
Always clean the machine and implement, disconnect the
battery, and disconnect the wiring from the Ignite
Attachments controllers before welding. Cover rubber
hoses, battery, and all other flammable parts. Keep a fire
extinguisher near the machine when welding.
Have good ventilation when grinding or welding painted
parts. Wear a dust mask when grinding painted parts.
Toxic dust or gas can be produced.
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 open flames or sparks.
Fire Extinguishers
P200083
Know where fire extinguishers and first aid kits are
located and how to use them. Inspect the fire
extinguisher and service the fire extinguisher regularly.
Obey the recommendations on the instructions plate.
