Safety—Operating Precautions
Heated and Ventilated Operator’s Seat
An overheated seat heater can cause a burn injury or
damage to the seat. To reduce the risk of burns, use
caution when using the seat heater for extended periods
of time, especially if the operator cannot feel temperature
change or pain to the skin. Do not place objects on the
H124189 —UN—11MAY18
seat, such as a blanket, cushion, cover, or similar item,
which can cause the seat heater to overheat.
DX,SEATHEATER -19-20NOV18-1/1

Safety—Maintenance Precautions
Clean Exhaust Filter Safely
During exhaust filter cleaning operations, the engine
may run at elevated idle and hot temperatures for an
extended period of time. Exhaust gases and exhaust
filter components reach temperatures hot enough to burn
people, or ignite or melt common materials.
TS227 —UN—15APR13
Keep machine away from people, animals, or structures
which may be susceptible to harm or damage from hot
exhaust gases or components. Avoid potential fire or
explosion hazards from flammable materials and vapors
near the exhaust. Keep exhaust outlet away from people
and anything that can melt, burn, or explode.
Closely monitor machine and surrounding area for
smoldering debris during and after exhaust filter cleaning.
Adding fuel while an engine is running can create a fire
or explosion hazard. Always stop engine before refueling
machine and clean up any spilled fuel.
TS271 —UN—23AUG88
Always make sure that engine is stopped while hauling
machine on a truck or trailer.
Contact with exhaust components while still hot can result
in serious personal injury.
Avoid contact with these components until cooled to safe
temperatures.
If service procedure requires engine to be running:
• Only engage power-driven parts required by service
procedure
• Ensure that other people are clear of operator station
and machine
TS1693 —UN—09DEC09
Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from power-driven
parts.
Always disable movement (neutral), set the parking brake
or mechanism and disconnect power to attachments or
tools before leaving the operator’s station.
Shut off engine and remove key (if equipped) before
leaving the machine unattended.
