Safety Practices

11

Model 6042

Origin 2/04

C. Ether or High Energy Starting Aids (Optional)

The engine utilizes a grid heating system inside the induction
manifold for cold starting conditions.

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 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.

WARNING:

This diesel engine uses a grid heating system

inside the induction manifold. DO NOT use ether or any high
energy fuels to assist starting. An explosion may cause death or
serious personal injury or engine damage.
