Safety Practices

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.
