SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS ON MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the battery wiring

• Do not charge a battery or jump-start the

engine if the battery is frozen; otherwise it

may explode. Warm the frozen battery to

15°C (60°F) before use.

• Do not use the battery when the fluid level

is below the lower level limit. Doing so will

hasten the deterioration of the internal

portions of the battery and shorten the

battery life. It also can cause rupturing

(explosion).

• Do not add the distilled water above the

upper level limit. Doing so could cause the

fluid to leak. This fluid can cause skin

not clean with a dry cloth; otherwise it

could cause static electricity to build up,

resulting in ignition or explosion.

Use caution when handling batteries

• Batteries contain sulfuric acid which will

damage the eyes or skin in case of

contact.

· If eye contact occurs, flush immediately

with clean water and get prompt medical

attention.

· If accidentally swallowed, drink large

quantities of water or milk and call a

physician immediately.

· If acid contacts skin or clothing, wash off

immediately with a lot of water.

• Wear protective goggle and gloves when

working with batteries.

• Batteries generate flammable hydrogen

gas which may explode. Keep away from

flame, sparks, fire or lighted cigarettes.

• When checking the level of the battery

fluid, use a flashlight.

• Be sure to stop the engine by turning off

the starter switch before inspecting or

handling the battery.

• Be careful not to let metal tools or any

metal objects come into contact with the

battery terminals and cause a short circuit.

• Loose battery terminals may result in

sparks. Be sure to fasten terminals tightly.

• Make sure the battery caps are tightened

securely.

SAFETY

SAFETY SIGNS (DECALS)

For the safety of the operator and the personnel working around the site, safety signs (decals)

are placed at certain locations on the machine as shown below. Walk around the machine with

this manual, and check the content and location of these safety signs. Review these signs and

the operating instructions in this manual with your machine operators.

• Keep the signs clean and legible. If any of the safety labels is peeling or damaged and

becomes difficult to read, replenish it with a new one. Please include your product serial

number when ordering a new sign from the Takeuchi service agent.

• When a part/unit to which a safety sign is attached is replenished, a new sign must be

attached to the new part/unit.
