Warning
• DO NOT work on engine or equipment that
is supported ONLY by lift jacks or a hoist;
use blocks or special stands.
• To avoid burns, be alert for components
which remain hot after power is turned off or
disconnected.
• Corrosion inhibitor contains alkali. Do not
get the substance in your eyes. Avoid
prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Do
not swallow internally. In case of contact,
immediately wash skin with soap and water.
In case of contact, immediately flood eyes
with large amounts of water for a minimum of
15 minutes. Get medical assistance immedi-
ately. Keep out of the reach of children.
• Before beginning any adjustments or repairs,
place a “Do Not Operate” tag in the
operator’s compartment and on the controls,
disconnect negative cable from batteries.
• Relieve pressure in fuel, oil, cooling and
hydraulic lines before servicing; get medical
assistance immediately if
a high pressure jet
of fuel, oil, antifreeze or hydraulic fluid strikes
your skin.
• Keep sparks and fire away from batteries;
batteries produce hydrogen gas which can
explode and cause severe personal injury
and property damage.
• Battery fluid can burn the skin and injure the
eyes. If you come in contact with battery
acid, flush skin with large amounts of water
and get medical assistance immediately.
• Some of the gaskets on the engine contain
asbestos. Breathing asbestos dust is
dangerous to health and may cause severe
bodily harm. Avoid creating dust and follow
local directives for handling and disposing of
materials which contain asbestos.
• Always use the same fastener part number
(or equivalent) when replacing fasteners. Do
not use a fastener of lesser quality if replace-
ment is necessary.
• Never use gasoline or other flammable
materials when cleaning parts; use an
approved cleaning solvent.
• Diesel fuel can irritate the skin; use gloves or
a protective hand lotion.
• Avoid prolonged and repeated skin contact
with new and used engine oil. This contact
may cause skin disorders and bodily injury.
Wash thoroughly after contact and keep out
of the reach of children.
To protect yourself and others:
• DO NOT smoke or operate engine during
refueling.
• DO NOT operate engine in the presence of a
fuel spill or gas leak. Such combustible
vapors when drawn into the engine can
cause engine over-speeding, an explosion,
fire and extensive personal injury and
property damage. Before you operate in any
hazardous environment consult a recognized
authority in this field such as your engine
distributor.
• DO NOT remove radiator cap while engine
and coolant are hot; coolant under pressure
is dangerous and can injure the eyes and
cause severe burns.
• DO NOT use salt water or other corrosive
liquid in the cooling system.
• DO NOT pull or pry on the fan blades. This
practice will damage the fan blades and
cause fan failure. Use only approved
methods and tools for manually rotating the
engine.
• DO NOT operate, clean, lubricate or adjust
engine without correct training.
• DO NOT permit loose clothing, long hair,
etc., near moving parts.
• Keep away from parts which rotate; fan
blades can appear invisible when fan is
rotating.
• At any time only one person must be in
control of engine and forklift; forklift brakes
must work.
• Install guards before operating engine and
forklift.
• Clear all persons from the immediate area
during engine and forklift operation.
• Be sure engine operation will not produce a
concentration of toxic emissions.
• Operate well within the stability limits of the
equipment.
• Work area must support the weight of the
equipment plus the torque produced by the
suspended load.
• Wear protective glasses and protective
shoes.
• Make only adjustments and repairs you
understand.
