PRECAUTION

12.FUEL

When handling and storing fuel, adhere to the fol-

lowing to prevent from unexpected accident.

• Be careful with fire.

• Prepare a container and cloth to prevent scatter-

ing of fuels when performing work where fuels can

be spilled. If the oil spills, wipe it off immediately to

prevent from penetrating into floor or flowing out for

environmental protection.

• Follow all government and local regulations con-

cerning disposal of refuse when disposing.

13.ENGINE COOLANT

When handling engine coolant, adhere to the fol-

lowing to prevent from unexpected accident.

• Never remove the radiator cap since engine

coolant may blow out when it is hot.

• Prepare a container and cloth to prevent scatter-

ing of engine coolant when performing work where

engine coolant can be spilled. If the oil spills, wipe it

off immediately to prevent from penetrating into

floor or flowing out for environmental protection.

• Follow all government and local regulations con-

cerning disposal of refuse when disposing.

14.AIR CONDITIONER REFRIGERANT

In order to prevent from global warming, avoid re-

leasing air conditioner refrigerant into the atmo-

sphere. Using a refrigerant recovery system,

discharge and reuse it.

15.REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OPERA-

TION OF HOSES, ETC.

1. Before the removal and installation operation

of hoses, etc.
• If you keep using the damaged or deformed

hose, it results bleeds or leakage of the fat adheres

or disconnection of the hose. Be careful not to spill

fat adheres on exhaust pipes, etc. during mainte-

nance to prevent emitting smoke or causing fires.

• Perform the operation with the hose removed. If

the operation is performed without removing the

hose, it may damage inner surface of the hose.
2. Removal and installation operation of hoses,

etc. during the inspection
•

Follow the instructions below when remov-

ing hose.

• Do not use a pointed hose remover (hose

plucker) when using a general hose remover. It

may damage the pipe surface or the hose.

• When draining hose using pliers, be sure to

cover the hose with cloth and rotate the hose

slightly to extract straight.

If you keep using the hose, perform the in-

spection below and replace the hose with a new

part if faulty.

• Replace the hose with a new part if it rides

over the stay or the top of spool.

• Check if the surface and the inner surface of

the hose are damaged, cracked, bend, hard-

ened, softened, swelled, peeled or deformed

due to the adherence or the entry of the foreign

matter by bending the hose. Replace with the

new part if faulty.

•

Follow the instructions below during installa-

tion.

• Check carefully for assembling position.
• Never use lubricants.
• Insert the hose to the specified position (stop-

per or spool) securely. (The spool stopper is the

space from the top of the spool to the base.)

Precaution

PRECAUTION

• Check if the position, direction and hose lay-

out of the hose clamp are correct. (Check if the

position, direction, length and the gap around

are correct, or if it is different from the condition

before the work)

• After the installation, check that the hose is in-

stalled securely and there is no leakage. (Check

if it is fixed securely with the clamp)

•

For hose clips and hose clamps, perform the

inspection below and replace them with a new

part if faulty.

• Check for deformation, rust, damage or for-

eign matters.
• For hose clip, check if it works and has clamp-

ing force.
• For hose clamp, check if it can tighten screw,

not ovalized or the screw is not damaged.

•

For hose pipes, perform the inspection below

and replace with a new part if faulty.

Check if the pipe is not damaged, rusted, peeled

(peeled plates included), covered with foreign

matter, bent, compressed or cracked.

•

For the parts below, replaces with a new part

when the hose is removed or the installation

position is changed.

Precaution

PRECAUTION

16.HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR SILICON-CONTAINING SPRAY

When a silicone contained in the lubricant, rust inhibitor or glazing agent adheres to the electrical contact of

the relay or switch, nonconducting silica dioxide (SiO

2

) film will be formed, which may lead to poor continuity.

Therefore, the following precautions must be observed when using the silicon-containing spray.

• Never spray directly to the electrical equipment.

• When using the spray close to the electrical equipment, always put the cover on it. Be sure to put the cover

on the electrical equipment especially when using the spray to the locations shown in the figure below and

their surrounding areas.

• If the residual silicon remains in the vicinity of the electrical equipment after the spray has been used, the

vaporized silicon stands around the electrical equipment and it may adhere to electrical contact. After using

the spray, be sure to wipe the silicon off with a cloth.

• Even when using the spray to the place away from the electrical equipment, the droplet of the spray may

be splashed to the periphery. Use as small amount of spray as possible, and take care not to splash the sil-

icon to the periphery.
NOTE:

The “silicon” used in this section refers to “silicone”, that is, silicon polymer.
