WAR NING: Pressurized fluid can penetrate body tissue and result in serious injury or

death. Leaks can be invisible. Keep away from any suspected leaks. Relieve pressure in the
hydraulic system before searching for leaks, disconnecting hoses, or performing any other
work on the system. If you must pressurize the system to find a suspected leak, use an
object such as a piece of wood or cardboard rather than your hands. When loosening a
fitting where some residual pressure may exist, slowly loosen the fitting until oil begins to
leak. Wait for leaking to stop before disconnecting the fitting. Fluid injected under the skin
must be removed immediately by a surgeon familiar with this type of injury.

WAR NING: Fuel and fumes can explode and burn.

Shut off engine before refueling. No flame. No smoking.

WAR NING: Hot fluid under pressure can scald.

Allow engine to cool before opening radiator cap.

WAR NING: When HEST (High Exhaust System Temperature) Light is displayed, the

1

exhaust gas temperature could exceed 1100°F (600°C) during regeneration. High
temperature may result in fire, burn, or explosion hazards, which may result in personal
injury or death. Do not expose flammable material or explosive atmospheres to exhaust gas
or to exhaust system components during regeneration.

WAR NING: To prevent fi res, routinely cle ar any com bustible m ate rial from the engine
exhaust system. Tier 4 Interim / Stage IIIB emission compliant exhaust systems use
extreme high temperature that can ignite combustible material.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER

A fire extinguisher (not supplied with machine) can be mounted to the remote
control box (1).

WAR NING: Fa i l ure to follow any of the precedi ng safety instructions or those that follow within
this manual, could result in serious injury or death. This machine is to be used only for those
