IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Staying Safe

When the Engine Coolant is Hot

WARNING

Do not loosen or remove the radiator

cap while the engine coolant is

hot. Doing so would be dangerous

because steam and hot air would

shoot out.

•

When the Silencer and Exhaust Pipe are Hot

CAUTION

When the engine is running and immediately after vehicle operation, the diesel

particulate defuser (DPD), silencer, and exhaust pipe are extremely hot. Be

careful not to inadvertently touch them when working near them (for example,

tilting the cab or operating an attachment). Otherwise, you could get burned.

•

After Using the Ashtray

WARNING

Be sure to close the ashtray

after using it. Otherwise, any

unextinguished cigarette butt could

set fire to other cigarette butts,

resulting in a fire.

Do not allow the ashtray to become

overly full of cigarette butts. Also,

do not put flammable material in the

ashtray.
