NOTE:
If there is any leakage from a line or hose, the
surrounding area may be wet.
Replace lines and hoses immediately if swelling,
cracking, or leaks are found or if failure occurs.
Accumulator
This machine is equipped with an accumulator charged
with high-pressure nitrogen gas. Do not disassemble the
accumulator.
Never expose the accumulator to temperatures over
140°F (60°C) or to open flames.
Never weld on the accumulator.
Never strike the accumulator.
If the accumulator needs maintenance, contact a SANY
dealer.
Electrical System
Always clean the electrical system using only
SANY-approved electrical cleaners.
Never use caustic soaps, high-pressure water, or steam
cleaners to clean the electrical system. These could
damage the system or cause intermittent system failures.
Battery Safety
When working with batteries, always work in a
well-ventilated area. Batteries present a hazard,
especially when they have been in use for a long period
of time. The following are some basic precautions for
working around batteries:
• Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Battery gases are extremely explosive. Smoking,
sparks, or open flames could cause an explosion.
When opening a battery compartment, always allow
ample time for battery gases to escape.
• If the battery is corroded, clean it with a mixture of
warm water and baking soda.
• If battery acid gets on the skin or in the eyes, flush
the area immediately with fresh water and seek
medical attention.
Check the battery’s condition only with proper test
equipment.
Disconnect the Battery
When disconnecting the battery, always disconnect the
negative (-) cable first, then disconnect the positive (+)
cable.
Job Safety
It is the owner’s/operator’s responsibility to replace any
safety decals that are damaged or missing from the
machine.
Never leave the machine running while it is unattended.
Always park the machine in a safe, level area, lower any
work equipment to the ground, lock the controls, and
secure the machine to prevent tampering by
unauthorized personnel. Shut down the engine before
exiting the machine.
Before starting any work operations, travel, or
maintenance procedures, make sure all personnel are a
safe distance from all points of the machine. Never allow
anyone to stand near the machine while it is in operation
or under maintenance or repair.
It is the responsibility of the operator’s employer to
conduct periodic safety training and familiarize all
personnel with emergency procedures.
If pedestrians are in the area, sound the horn and
proceed slowly.
When working with another person on a job site, make
sure that all personnel involved understand all
industry-standard hand signals that are to be used.
The operator shall respond to operating signals from the
proper signal person only, but shall obey a stop signal at
any time from anyone.
The operator must always be able to see the work
location. If this is not possible, then a signalman must be
used. If visibility becomes blocked for any reason, stop
operation immediately.
If the machine is equipped with operator aids,
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
requires this equipment to be used when operating the
machine.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Before using personal protective equipment (PPE), make
sure it is in good working condition.
Hearing Protection
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment
or loss of hearing. Wear suitable hearing protection to
protect against loud noises.
Travel and Operation Precautions
Confirm the relative positions of the undercarriage and
operator before operating the machine.
Traveling with the machine may present hazards. When
traveling with the machine, always travel in a safe,
controlled manner, and remain alert at all times. Be sure
