At operating temperature, the engine coolant is hot and the engine coolant is under pressure. The radiator and all lines to heaters or to the engine contain hot coolant or steam. Any contact can cause severe burns.
Steam can cause personal injury.
Only check the coolant level after the engine has been stopped. Make sure that the radiator filler cap is cool. In order to remove the radiator cap with the bare hand, the radiator cap must be cool. In order to relieve pressure, remove the radiator filler cap slowly.
Cooling system conditioner contains alkali. Alkali can cause personal injury. Do not allow alkali to contact the skin, the eyes and the mouth.
Allow cooling system components to cool before draining.
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to contact the skin.
At operating temperature, the hydraulic tank is hot and the hydraulic tank can be under pressure.
Remove the hydraulic tank filler cap only after the engine has been stopped. The filler cap must be cool enough to touch.
Remove the hydraulic tank filler cap slowly in order to relieve pressure.
Relieve all the pressure in any system (air systems, oil systems, fuel systems, or cooling systems) before any system components are disconnected.
