Wash hands after handling. If acid is accidentally splashed into your eyes, flush immediately with clean water and get medical attention.
Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery; it can explode. Disconnect battery before working on electrical systems. Remove ground terminal first when disconnecting. Connect ground terminal last when reconnecting. Do not short out battery terminals for any reason. Serious burns or an explosion can result.
CAUTION
Lead-acid batteries contain sulfuric acid which can severely damage eyes or skin on contact. Always wear a safety face shield, rubber gloves and protective clothing to reduce risk of accidents. Lead-acid batteries produce flammable and explosive gasses. Keep arcs, sparks, open flames and lighted tobacco a safe distance from the batteries. Avoid Injury from Backover Accidents
Before moving machine, be sure all persons are clear of the area. Always be alert for bystanders moving into the work area. Use horn to warn bystanders before moving the machine. When using a signal person, keep the person in view at all times. Always be sure the signal person is clear before backing up. To avoid backover accidents: • Always look around before you back up. Be sure that everyone is clear. • Keep reverse* warning alarm in working condition. • Be aware that the reverse* warning alarm sounds only when the machine is moving in reverse* regardless of the swing position of the rotating upper. • Use a signal person when backing up if view is obstructed. Always keep the signal person in view. • Learn the meaning of all flags, signs and markings on the job site and who is responsible for signalling. • Keep windows, mirrors and lights in good condition. • Dust, heavy rain, fog, snow etc. can reduce visibility. As visibility decreases, reduce speed and use proper lighting. *Reverse is defined as the machine moving with the rear of the undercarriage at the leading edge of movement and is not necessarily related to the swing position of the rotating upper. The track gear box is located at the rear of the undercarriage.
