Safety
1. Pinhole:
Fluid under pressure can cause serious injury. It can be almost invisible escaping from a pinhole and it can pierce the skin into
the body. Do not touch a pressurized hydraulic hose assembly with any part of your body. If
fl
uid punctures the skin, even if no pain is felt,
a serious emergency exists. Obtain medical assistance immediately. Failure to do so can result in loss of the injured part or death.
2. Leak:
Keep
fi
ttings and hoses tight. Only check and service when not under pressure. Leaking hydraulic
fl
uid is not only unsightly, it’s
hazardous. In addition to making workplace
fl
oors slippery and dangerous, leaks also contaminate the environment. Before cleaning an oil
spill, always check EPA, state and local regulations.
3. Burst:
Whether due to improper selection or damage, a ruptured hose can cause injury. If it bursts, a worker can be burned, cut, injected
or may slip and fall.
4. Coupling
Blow-off:
If the assembly is not properly made or installed, the coupling could come off and hit or spray a worker, possibly
resulting in serious injury. Never operate machine without guards.
FLAMMABILITY
With the exception of those comprised primarily of water, all hydraulic
fl
uid is
fl
ammable when exposed to the proper conditions (including many
“
fi
re-resistant” hydraulic
fl
uids).
Leaking pressurized hydraulic
fl
uids may develop a mist or
fi
ne spray that can
fl
ash or explode upon contact with a cause of ignition. These
explosions can be very severe and could result in serious injury or death.
Precautions should be taken to eliminate all ignition sources from making contact with escaping
fl
uids, sprays or mists resulting from hydraulic
failures. Sources of ignition could be electrical discharges (sparks), open
fl
ames, extremely high temperatures, sparks caused by metal -to -metal
contact, etc.
HYDRAULIC FLUID
Only use Texaco Rando 46 Hydraulic Oil or Compatible Fluid like IS032. Non-compatible
fl
uids could cause damage to unit or serious injury.
SAFETY SWITCH
The 5700-AUS All Day Battery Powered Ride-On has been equipped with a safety switch under the seat, which requires the operator to be
seated before the 5700-AUS can be operated. Do not attempt the start-up procedure with out being seated on the machine.
BATTERY
•
Contact with electrolytic acid can cause skin irritation and damage clothing. Wear a protective apron, gloves and goggles when working
with batteries. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts your skin, clothing, or eyes.
•
Remove personal metal items such as bracelets, rings, necklaces, and watches when working with batteries. A battery can produce a short
circuit current suf
fi
cient enough to weld metal objects, causing severe burns.
•
Never smoke or allow a spark or
fl
ame in the vicinity of the batteries. Caution must be taken to reduce the risk of dropping metal tools onto
the battery. A spark or short circuit may result in an explosion.
FIRST AID
Immediately
fl
ush eyes with cold, fresh water for a minimum of 10 minutes if electrolytic acid comes in contact with eyes. Seek professional
medical attention.
VENTILATION
Blocking louvers or air
fl
ow perforations of convection or fan cooled battery chargers and/or machine will result in damage to the unit. When
installing the unit leave space for air to
fl
ow freely through the intake and discharge louvers and/or perforations.

WARNING: SILICA DUST WARNING
SCRAPING/GRINDING/CUTTING/DRILLING OF MASONRY, CONCRETE, METAL AND OTHER
MATERIALS CAN GENERATE DUST, MISTS AND FUMES CONTAINING CHEMICALS KNOWN TO CAUSE SERIOUS FATAL INJURY OR ILL-
NESS, SUCH AS RESPIRATORY DISEASE, CANCER, BIRTH DEFECTS OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM. IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH
THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PARTICULAR MATERIAL BEING CUT, REVIEW THE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
AND/OR CONSULT YOU EMPLOYER, THE MATERIAL MANUFACTURER/SUPPLIER, GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES SUCH
AS OSHA AND NIOSH AND OTHER AUTHORITIES ON HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. CALIFORNIA AND SOME OTHER AU-
THORITIES, FOR INSTANCE, HAVE PUBLISHED LISTS OF SUBSTANCES KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER, REPRODUCTIVE
TOXICITY, OR OTHER HARMFUL EFFECTS. CONTROL DUST, MIST AND FUMES AT THE SOURCE WHERE POSSIBLE. IN
THIS REGARD USE GOOD WORK PRACTICES AND FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE MANUFACTURER/SUP-
PLIER, OSHA/NIOSH, AND OCCUPATIONAL AND TRADE ASSOCIATIONS. WHEN THE HAZARDS FROM INHALATION OF
DUST, MISTS AND FUMES CANNOT BE ELIMINATED, THE OPERATOR AND ANY BYSTANDERS SHOULD ALWAYS WEAR
A RESPIRATOR APPROVED BY OSHA/MSHA FOR THE MATERIAL BEING CUT.
