PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE
2.8.10 RULES TO BE FOLLOWED DURING
FUEL OR OIL TOPPING UP
Keep away from naked flames while refuelling or topping up
oil.
Spilled fuel or oil make the ground slippery and may cause ac-
cidents; clean any dirty area immediately and carefully.
Always tighten the fuel tank and the hydraulic circuit oil safety
caps securely.
Do not use fuel to clean any part of the machine that may be
dirty with oil or dust.
Always top up the fuel and oil tanks in properly ventilated place
and avoid smoking.
When refuelling, hold the fuel gun firmly and keep it constantly
in contact with the filler until you have finished, in order to
avoid sparks due to static electricity.
Do not fill the tank completely, in order to leave room for the fu-
el to expand.
2.8.11 CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVEL
IN THE RADIATOR
Let the engine and the radiator cool down before checking the
coolant level.
If it is necessary to remove the cap with hot engine, wear suit-
able clothes and protections and loosen the cap slowly, in or-
der to gradually release the pressure.

2.8.12 USING LAMPS

When checking the fuel, oil, coolant or battery electrolyte lev-
els, always use homologated explosion-proof lamps.
If such lighting equipment is not used, there is danger of fire or
explosion.
