IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY

WARNING

Diesel fuel or hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious personal injury, blindness, or death. If any fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with treating this type of injury.

Dispose of fluids properly. Do not pour fluids into the ground, stream, pond or lake. Before draining any fluids, know the proper way to dispose of them. Explosive release of fluids from pressurized cooling system can cause serious burns. Shut off engine. Only remove coolant filler cap when cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to first stop to relieve pressure before removing completely.

WARNING

Never use a liquid staring aid to start an engine. THIS ENGINE IS EQUIPPED WITH A COMPUTER CONTROLLED HEATING ELEMENT IN THE ENGINE INTAKE SYSTEM. STARTING FLUIDS WILL EXPLODE ON CONTACT WITH THE HEATING ELEMENT.

WARNING

WARNING, HOT FLUIDS AND HOT MACHINE SURFACES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS!

• Before servicing the machine, allow the engine cooling system, fuel system, exhaust system, hydraulic system and machine surfaces to cool down.

• Use a thermometer to check surface and system temperatures to ensure it is safe to begin service work. • DO NOT begin service work until the surface or system temperature has cooled down to below 38°C (100°F)! Conduct maintenance inspections at least as frequently as recommended in section 3 of the Machine Operators Manual.

Before performing maintenance or repair work on any equipment, consult the manufacturer’s instruction manual and follow recommended procedures.
