Safety Practices
C. Hydraulic Fluid
DO NOT attempt to repair or tighten any hydraulic hoses or fittings
while the engine is running or when the hydraulic system is under
pressure. Fluid in the hydraulic system is under enough pressure
that it can penetrate the skin causing serious injuries or death.
HOT HYDRAULIC FLUID WILL CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. Wait
for fluid to cool down before disconnecting lines.
DO NOT use your hand to check for leaks. Use a piece of
cardboard or paper to search for leaks. Wear gloves to protect
hands from spraying fluid.
Hydraulic fluid can cause permanent eye injury. Wear appropriate
eye protection and stop engine and relieve pressure before
disconnecting lines.
If anyone is injured by or if any hydraulic fluid is injected into the
skin, obtain medical attention immediately or gangrene may result.
D. Battery
The following WARNING is intended to supplement and does not
replace the warnings and information provided on the battery by the
battery manufacturer.
When jump starting the vehicle, carefully follow instructions found
under “Jump Starting” on page 50.
Keep sparks, flames and lit cigarettes away from the battery at all
times. Lead acid batteries generate
explosive
gases. Severe
chemical burns can result from improper handling of battery
electrolyte. Wear safety glasses and proper protective gear when
handling batteries to prevent electrolyte from coming in contact with
eyes, skin or clothing.
