PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE
Understand service procedure before doing work. Keep area clean and dry.
Never lubricate, service or adjust machine while it is moving. Keep hands, feet and
clothing from power driven parts. Disengage all power and operate controls to relieve
pressure. Lower equipment to the ground. Allow machine to cool.
Securely support any machine elements that must be raised for service work.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damage immediately.
Replace worn or broken parts. Remove any build-up of grease, oil, or debris.
Remove paint before welding or heating.
Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust
when sanding, repainting or welding. Do
all work outside in a well-ventilated area.
Dispose of paint and solvent properly.
Avoid heating near pressurized fluid lines or other flammable materials. Pressurized
lines can be accidentally cut when heat goes beyond the immediate flame, which
could result in severe burns to yourself and bystanders.
Avoid high-pressure fluids. Escaping fluid under pressure can cause injury. Relieve
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines.
DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY
Improper disposing of waste can threaten the
environment and ecology. Use leak-proof
equipment when draining fluids. Do not use
food or beverage containers that may mislead
someone into drinking from them.
Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into any water
source. Use the
manufacturer’s directions on the correct way to
recycle or dispose of waste.
