Snorkel SRT2670 - Manual (Page 13)

❑ Mounting and Dismounting Precautions
Use three points of support when getting on or off
the platform (two hands and one foot or a similar set
of points). Keep the platform clean.
DO NOT jump off the machine.
DO NOT dismount while the machine is in motion.
❑ Starting and Stopping Precautions
DO NOT start until all personnel are clearly away
from the machine.
Before leaving the operator’s station, place the ma-
chine in the stowed position.
When leaving the machine parked or unattended,
remove the starter key from the Key switch and set
the Battery switch to off.
❑
Operating Precautions
DO NOT modify the SRT in any way.
When parts or components are replaced, they shall
be identical or equivalent to original Snorkel parts
or components.
DO NOT override any of the safety features of the
SRT.
❑ Operator Maintenance Precautions
DO NOT use your hand to search for hydraulic
oil leaks. High pressure hydraulic oil can easily
cut and penetrate your skin — a very serious
injury that requires immediate attention by a
medical specialist trained in that type of injury.
Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search
for hydraulic oil leaks.
DO NOT attempt repairs unless you are
trained. Refer to manuals and experienced
repair personnel for help.
❑ Fuel Handling Precautions
DO NOT smoke or permit open flames while fueling
or near fueling operations.
Never remove the fuel cap or refuel a gasoline en-
gine while the engine is running or hot. Never allow
fuel to spill on hot machine components.
Maintain control of the fuel filler nozzle when filling
the tank.
DO NOT fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for
expansion.
Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
Tighten the fuel tank cap securely. If the fuel cap is
lost, replace it with an approved cap from Snorkel.
Use of a non-approved cap without proper venting
may result in pressurization of the tank.
Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
For diesel engines, use the correct fuel grade for
the operating season.
■ Safety Decals and Placards
There are several safety decals and placards on
the SRT. Their locations and descriptions are
shown in this section. Take time to study them.
Be sure that all the safety decals and placards
on the SRT are legible. Clean or replace them
if you cannot read the words or see the
pictures. Clean with soap & water and a soft
cloth. Do not use solvents.
You MUST replace a decal or placard if it is
damaged, missing, or cannot be read. If it is
on a part that is replaced, make sure a new
decal or placard is installed on the replaced
part. See your Snorkel dealer for new decals
and placards.
Refer to Placards and Decals Inspection Chart
and Drawing in the “Daily Inspection and
Maintenance” chapter 7, for part numbers,
location, and required quantities of all placards
and decals.
