Crushing Prevention and
Cutting Prevention
Support the equipment properly when work
beneath the equipment is performed.
Unless other maintenance instructions are provided
never attempt adjustments while the engine is
running. Stay clear of all rotating parts and moving
parts. Leave the guards in place until maintenance
is performed. After the maintenance is performed
reinstall the guards.
Keep objects away from moving fan blades. The
fan blades will throw objects or cut objects. Wear
protective glasses in order to avoid injury to the
eyes. Chips or other debris may fly off objects when
objects are struck. Before objects are struck, ensure
that no one will be injured by flying debris.
Mounting and Dismounting
Do not climb on the equipment, and do not
jump off the equipment. Do not stand on
the components which can not support your
weight. Mount the equipment and dismount the
equipment only at locations that have a ladder or
handholds.
Safety Section
Check for the following conditions:
•
End fittings that are damaged or leaking
•
Outer covering that is chafed or cut
•
Wire that is exposed in reinforced hose
•
Outer covering that is ballooning locally
•
Flexible part of the hose that is kinked or
crushed
•
Armoring that is embedded in the outer
covering
Ensure that all of the clamps, guards, and heat
shields are installed correctly. Correct installation
of these components will help to prevent these
effects: vibration, rubbing against other parts and
excessive heat during operation.
Inhalation
Exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health. If
you operate the equipment in an enclosed area,
adequate ventilation is necessary,
Burn Prevention
Do not touch any part of the equipment during
operation. Allow the equipment to cool before any
maintenance is performed on the engine. Relieve
all pressures in the hydraulic system, fuel system,
lubrication system, or cooling system before any
lines, fittings, or related items are disconnected.
Oil
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal
injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to
contact the skin.
Keep all of the exhaust manifold and turbocharger
heat shields in place in order to protect
components from oil spray if there is a failure of a
line, tube, or seal.
