1.2 Safety Precautions
Observe these instructions for your own safety.
Precautions for Operation
Burns from Scalding
Never open the radiator filler cap while the engine is hot. Steam and hot water will
spurt out and seriously burn you. Wait until the radiator is cooled down after the engine
has stopped, wrap the filler cap with a rag piece and slowly open the cap.
Securely tighten the filler cap after checking the radiator. Steam can spurt out during
operation, if the cap is tightened loose.
Proper Ventilation of the Battery Area
Keep the area around the battery well ventilated, paying attention to keep away any
fire source. During operation or charging, hydrogen gas is generated from the battery
and can be easily ignited.
Fires from Oil lgnition
Be sure to use the proper diesel fuel. Filling with gasoline or the like by mistake will
result in ignition.
Be sure to stop the engine before refueling.
If you spill fuel, wipe off such spillage completely.
Never place oils or other flammable materials close to engine, as this could result in
ignition.
Exhaust Gas Poisoning
Never block up windows, ventilation ports, or other ventilation equipment such as
ventilators of the engine room. Ensure good ventilation during engine operation.
Inhaling the exhaust gas is harmful.
Never operate the engine in a closed room, tunnel, underground room, manhole, or
ship's hold. It is dangerous since exhaust gas cannot get out.
Keep Away from Moving Parts
Pay sufficient attention so as not to touch rotating parts, or bring your hands or part
of your body or clothes close to rotating parts while the engine is operating. Otherwise,
you may get injured by being caught by the cooling fan, flywheel or PTO shaft. Never
operate the engine without covers on the rotating parts.
Check before starting the engine to see that any tools or cloths used in the
maintenance remains around the engine.
