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.
