WARNING:
Keep away from parts which
rotate; the fan blades can appear invisible
when the fan is rotating.
DO NOT pull or pry on the fan blades. This
practice will cause fan failure. Use only approved
methods and tools for manually rotating the
engine.
WARNING:
Keep sparks and fires 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 the affected area with large amounts of
water and obtain medical assistance immediately.
WARNING:
Engine oil can cause skin
disorders and other personal injury. Avoid
prolonged or repeated contact with both new
and used engine oil.
WARNING:
Diesel fuel can cause skin
irritation. Use gloves or protective hand lotion
when working on the fuel system.
WARNING:
Before beginning any
adjustments or repairs, place accident
prevention tags in the operator’s compartment
and on the controls, and disconnect the battery
negative cable.
• DO NOT operate, clean, lubricate or
adjust the engine without proper training.
• NEVER attempt to perform an adjust-
ment or repair that is not understood.
• Before servicing, relieve pressure in
fuel, oil, coolant and hydraulic lines.
Obtain medical assistance immediately
if a high-pressure jet of fuel, oil, coolant
or hydraulic fluid strikes the skin.
• DO NOT permit loose clothing, hair,
etc., near moving parts.
• Keep away from parts which rotate; fan
blades can appear invisible when the
fan is rotating.
• To help prevent burns, avoid contact
with components that remain hot after
power is turned off or disconnected.
• Some of the gaskets on the engine
contain asbestos. Breathing asbestos
dust is dangerous to health and may
cause severe bodily harm. Avoid creat-
ing dust and follow local directives for
handling and disposing of materials
that contain asbestos.
WARNING:
When replacement is
necessary, ALWAYS use factory-approved
fasteners and parts.
