Safety Practices

Model 6036
4. Chemical Hazards
A. Exhaust Fumes
Fumes from the engine exhaust can cause death or serious 
personal injury. DO NOT operate vehicle in an enclosed area 
without a ventilation system capable of routing the hazardous 
fumes outdoors.
B. Explosive Fuel
Engine fuel is
flammable and can cause a fire and/or an explosion.
Avoid danger by keeping sparks, open flames and smoking 
materials away from the vehicle and from fuel during refueling or 
when servicing the fuel system. Know where fire extinguishers are 
kept on the worksite and how to use them.
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 death or serious personal 
injuries.
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. Relieve pressure before 
disconnecting lines by moving all joysticks back and forth through 
all functions.
If anyone is injured by or if any hydraulic fluid is injected into the 
skin, obtain medical attention immediately or gangrene may result.
