Silica Dust Exposure
NA3504
Silica dust can cause lung disease and is known to the
state of California to cause cancer.
Cutting or drilling concrete containing sand or rock
containing quartz may result in exposure to silica dust.
Do not exceed Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) to
silica dust as determined by OSHA or other job site Rules
and Regulations. Use a respirator, water spray, or other
means to control dust.
FIRE PREVENTION
NA3505
Maintenance
The machine and some attachments have components
that are at high temperatures under normal operating
conditions. The primary source of high temperatures is
the engine and exhaust system. The electrical system, if
damaged or incorrectly maintained, can be a source of
arcs or sparks.
Flammable debris (leaves, straw, etc.) must be removed
regularly. If flammable debris is allowed to accumulate, it
can cause a fire hazard. Clean often to avoid this
accumulation. Flammable debris in the engine
compartment is a potential fire hazard.
The operator’s area, engine compartment, and engine
cooling system must be inspected every day and cleaned
if necessary to prevent fire hazards and overheating.
All fuels, most lubricants, and some coolant mixtures are
flammable. Flammable fluids that are leaking or spilled
onto hot surfaces or onto electrical components can
cause a fire.
Operation
Do not use the machine where exhaust, arcs, sparks, or
hot components can contact flammable material,
explosive dust, or gases.
Electrical
P200082
Check all electrical wiring and connections for damage.
Keep the battery terminals clean and tight. Repair or
replace any damaged part or wires that are loose or
frayed.
Battery gas can explode and cause serious injury. Use
the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for
connecting the battery and for jump starting. Do not jump
start or charge a frozen or damaged battery. Keep any
open flames or sparks away from batteries. Do not
smoke in battery charging area.
Hydraulic System
Check hydraulic tubes, hoses and fittings for damage and
leakage. Never use open flame or bare skin to check for
SAFETY AND TRAINING RESOURCES

7
leaks. Hydraulic tubes and hoses must be properly routed
and have adequate support and secure clamps. Tighten
or replace any parts that show leakage.
Always clean fluid spills. Do not use gasoline or diesel
fuel for cleaning parts. Use commercial nonflammable
solvents.
Fueling
P200084
Stop the engine and let it cool before adding fuel. No
smoking! Do not refuel a machine near open flames or
sparks. Fill the fuel tank outdoors.
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) poses a greater static
ignition hazard than earlier diesel formulations with
higher sulfur content. Avoid death or serious injury from
fire or explosion. Consult with your fuel or fuel system
supplier to ensure the delivery system is in compliance
with fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding
practices.
Starting
Do not use ether or starting fluids on any engine that has
glow plugs or an air intake heater. These starting aids
can cause explosion and injure you or bystanders.
Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance
Manual for connecting the battery and for jump starting.
Spark Arrester Exhaust System
The spark arrester exhaust system is designed to control
the emission of hot particles from the engine and exhaust
system, but the muffler and the exhaust gases are still
hot.
Check the spark arrester exhaust system regularly to
make sure it is maintained and working properly. Use the
procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for
cleaning the spark arrester muffler (if equipped).
Welding And Grinding
Always clean the machine and attachment, disconnect
the battery, and disconnect the wiring from the controllers
before welding. Cover rubber hoses, battery, and all other
flammable parts. Keep a fire extinguisher near the
machine when welding.
Have good ventilation when grinding or welding painted
parts. Wear a dust mask when grinding painted parts.
Toxic dust or gas can be produced.
Dust generated from repairing nonmetallic parts such as
hoods, fenders, or covers can be flammable or explosive.
Repair such components in a well-ventilated area away
from open flames or sparks.
Fire Extinguishers
P200083
Know where fire extinguishers and first aid kits are
located and how to use them. Inspect the fire
extinguisher and service the fire extinguisher regularly.
Obey the recommendations on the instructions plate.
