over-protective-structure) and a FOPS (falling-
objects-protective-structure) with a seat belt.
Always use the seat belt when the machine is
equipped with the ROPS or the FOPS. Combination
of the seat belt and the ROPS or the FOPS will
reduce the risk of personal injury or death if the
machine is upset.
Do not modify structural members of the ROPS or
FOPS by welding, drilling, bending, grinding, or
cutting, as this may weaken the structure.
If any component is damaged, replace it. Do not
repair the component.
If the ROPS or FOPS is loosened or removed for
any reason, make sure that all parts are reinstalled
correctly. Tighten mounting bolts to proper torque.
• The ROPS and the FOPS structure complies with
ISO 3471, ISO 3449, and OSHA regulations.

the system enough time to release the
remaining pressure.
2. Then loosen the cap completely.
• To avoid short-circuiting the battery, always remove
the ground cable first and attach the positive cable
first.
• Oil under high pressure can penetrate the skin and
may be harmful to your health if not treated
immediately.
• Leaking hydraulic fluid has enough pressure to
penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries.
Leakages from pinholes can be totally invisible. Do
not use hands for checking for leaks of hydraulic
fluid. Always use a piece of wood or cardboard. It is
strongly recommended to use a face mask or eye
protection.
If injuries occur with leaking hydraulic fluid, contact
a doctor immediately. This fluid can cause
gangrene or serious allergic reactions. Never repair
the hydraulic and air-conditioner hoses until the
pressure has been relieved.
• To avoid environmental damage from acid and
heavy metals, dispose of the battery appropriately.
• Observe all laws and regulations concerning the
disposal of used oil, coolants, solvents, hydraulic
fluids, battery acids, and the batteries.

cause fire or explosion.
– Avoid any twisting, bending, or hitting of hoses
that could cause damage to the line.
– Make sure that any loose connections are
secure properly before using the machine.
• Fire prevention
Compact-track-loader 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 arcing or
sparks.
The following fire-prevention-guidelines will help to
keep your equipment up and running efficiently and
keep the risk of fire to a minimum.
– Blow off all accumulated debris near hot engine
exhaust components such as the turbocharger
and the exhaust manifold as well as the
exhaust pipes and the muffler more frequently

such as leaves, straw, pine needles, branches,
bark, small wood chips, and any other
SAFE OPERATION
SVL75-3
13

combustible materials from inside the pans of
belly of the machine or lower unit structures as
well as from the area in proximity to the engine.
– Inspect all fuel lines and hydraulic hoses for
wear or for deterioration. Replace the fuel lines
and the hydraulic hoses immediately if they
begin to leak.
– Examine electrical wiring and connectors
frequently for damage. Repair any wires that
are loose or frayed before operating the
machine. Clean all electrical connections and
tighten all electrical connections as necessary.
– Inspect the exhaust system daily for any signs
of leakage. Check for broken pipes and muffler,
and for loose or missing bolts, nuts, and
clamps.
If you find any exhaust leaks or fractured parts,
repair it completely prior to operation.
– Always keep a multipurpose fire extinguisher on
or near the machine. Be familiar with the
operation of the fire extinguisher.
• Use caution when working around hot and
pressurized components.
– Always allow the engine to cool sufficiently
before performing any maintenance, inspection,
or repairs.
– Never touch any parts such as the engine, the
muffler, the radiator, the hydraulic lines, the
sliding parts, and so on as they may be very hot
immediately after the machine has been
running and can cause burning. Allow the
engine, the muffler, the radiator, the hydraulic
lines, the sliding parts, and so on to cool
sufficiently before touching them.
– Always use sufficient care whenever removing
the caps and plugs on the coolant, oil, and
hydraulic fluid as they are hot and pressurized
and can causing burning and injury from
spraying of hot fluid.
• Make certain that pressure from all of systems is
sufficiently released before performing any
maintenance or repairs. Oil or other fluids could be
released when caps or filters are removed before
the pressure has been stabilized in the hydraulic
system.
– Gradually release internal pressure build-up by
standing out of the line of any possible spray
and slowly removing plugs, screws, or
disconnect hoses.
• Always use care whenever using grease that is
pressurized.
– Always follow the proper procedure to adjust
tension.
Grease in the track adjuster is pressurized and
improper release can cause the discharge valve
to fly off, causing personal injury or death.
– Always loosen the discharge valve for the
grease slowly.
– Avoid standing in front of, or putting any parts of
the body in the line of the grease-discharge-
valve.
– If no grease is released when the discharge
valve is loosened, the machine has a
malfunction. Do not repair any kind yourself and
contact the nearest dealer for repairs. If no
grease is released when the discharge valve is
loosened, any operation of the machine can be
very dangerous.
• Always carefully check the machine after
performing any maintenance or repairs.
Confirm that no oil, water, and so on is leaking from
any parts that had been serviced by carefully
inspecting the parts.
Gradually speed up the engine from a low speed to
higher speed to check operation.
• Waste material
– Always make sure that any material and waste
products from the repair and maintenance of
the machine are collected into proper
containers using a funnel, or other device.
Dispose of waste material properly to avoid
pollution and contamination of the environment.
– Consult local regulations and codes when
disposing of oil, fuel, engine coolant, refrigerant,
solvents, filters, batteries, and any other
potentially harmful and hazardous material or
substance.
