Safety Practices
13
Model 644E
Origin 3/04
DO NOT use ether or any 
other high energy starting 
aids during cold starting. An 
engine explosion can result 
in death or serious personal 
injury.
D. 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. 
Pressure can typically be relieved by slowly and cautiously loosening one 
end of a hose at the swivel connection. 
If anyone is injured by or if any hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, obtain 
medical attention immediately or gangrene may result.
E. Batteries
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 ìJump Startingî on page 87.
Keep sparks, flames and lit smoking 
materials 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.
