When refuelling, hold the fuel gun firmly and keep it constantly
in contact with the filler until you have finished, in order to
avoid sparks due to static electricity.
•
After topping up, tighten the fuel and oil safety caps securely.
•
Do not fill the tank completely, in order to leave room for the fu-
el to expand.
•
In case some fuel is spilled, wipe it up immediately.

•
If the engine coolant, the engine oil and the hydraulic oil are
hot, use heavy cloths and wear gloves, heavy clothing and
safety goggles before carrying out any check or touching the
hot parts.
•
Before checking the coolant level, stop the engine and let the
fluid cool down.
If a check is necessary due to the overheating of the engine,
slowly loosen the radiator plug to release any residual pres-
sure before removing it. The hot fluid that spurts out may
cause serious burns.
•
Before checking the engine oil and hydraulic circuit oil level,
stop the engine and let the oil cool down. The hot oil that can
be sprayed out of the tank may cause serious burns.

Asbestos powder can be hazardous to your health if it is in-
haled.
•
If you handle materials containing asbestos fibers, keep to the
instructions given below:
1 - Do not use compressed air, but only aspirators to clean the
machine and make sure that the room in which you are
working is properly ventilated.
2 - Use low-pressure water to keep down the dust when clean-
ing.
3 - If there is danger that there may be asbestos powder in the
air, operate the machine with the wind to your back when-
ever possible.
4 - Even if the cab provides suitable protection, use an ap-
proved and homologated respirator.
5 - The powder gathered during the cleaning operations must
be dampened and put in a sealed and marked container, so
that it can be safely disposed of according to the regula-
tions in force.
