General Hazard Information
Attach a “Do Not Operate” warning tag to the
start switch or controls before the equipment is
serviced or repaired. Attach the warning tags to
the engine and to each operator control panel.
When appropriate disconnect the negative terminal
on the battery.
Do not allow unauthorized personnel on the
equipment or around the equipment while being
serviced.
Cautiously remove the following parts. To help
prevent spraying or splashing of pressurized fluids
hold a rag over the part that is being removed.
•
Filler caps
•
Grease fittings
•
Pressure taps
• Breathers
•
Drain plugs
Pressurized Air and Water
Pressurized air and/or water can cause debris and/
or hot water to be blown out which could result in
personal injury.
The maximum air pressure for cleaning purposes
must be reduced to 30psi (205 kPa) when the air
nozzle in deadheaded and used with effective chip
guarding (if applicable) and personal protective
equipment. The maximum water pressure for
cleaning purposes mus be below 40psi (275 kpa).
When pressurized air and/or pressurized water
is used for cleaning, wear protective clothing,
protective shoes, and eye protection. Eye
protection includes goggles or a protective face
shield. Always wear eye protection for cleaning the
cooling system.
Avoid direct spraying of water on electrical
connectors, connections, and components. When
using air for cleaning, allow the equipment to cool
to reduce the possibility of fine debris igniting
when redeposited on hot surfaces.
Fluid Penetration
Always use a board or cardboard when you check
for a leak. Leaking fluid that is under pressure can
penetrate body tissue. Fluid penetration can cause
serious injury and possible death. A pin hole leak
can cause severe injury. If fluid is injected into your
skin, you must get medical treatment immediately.
Seek treatment from a doctor that is familiar with
this type of injury.
Containing Fluid Spillage
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are
contained during performance of inspection,
maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair of
the equipment. Be prepared to collect the fluid
with suitable containers before opening any
compartment or disassembling any component
containing fluids. Dispose of all fluids according to
local regulations and mandates.
Lines, Tubes, and Hoses
Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines. Do not
install lines, tubes, or hoses that are damaged.
Repair any fuel lines, oil lines, tubes, or hoses that
are loose or damaged. Leaks can cause fires or
injury. Inspect all lines, tubes, and hoses carefully.
Do not use bare hands to check for leaks. Always
use a board or cardboard for checking equipment
components for leaks. Tighten all connections to
the recommended torque.
