8
Support the towbar and the axle(s) securely if working underneath the unit or when
removing a wheel. Do not rely on jacks.
9
Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the unit.
10 Before clearing the unit for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that operating
pressures, temperatures and speeds are correct and that the control and shut-down
devices function correctly.
11 Do not remove any of, or tamper with, the sound-damping material. Keep the material
free of dirt and liquids such as fuel, oil and cleansing agents.
12 Protect the electrical and regulating components, the air filter, etc. to prevent moisture
from entering them, e.g. when steam-cleaning.
T
OOL APPLICATIONS SAFETY
Apply the proper tool for each job. With the knowledge of correct tool use and knowing the
limitations of tools, along with some common sense, many accidents can be prevented.
Special service tools are available for specific jobs and should be used when
recommended. The use of these tools will save time and prevent damage to parts.
1
Use only spanners or sockets whose opening fits the fastener.
2
Apply an open-end spanner only in the plane of the fastener head, square to the
thread axis. Never cock an open-end spanner.
3
Do not use a pipe or other improvised leverage extensions on handles.
4
Do not hammer on spanners or other tools which are not specially designed
therefore.
5
Do not use adjustable spanners to tighten or slacken fasteners; they are intended to
hold the other end of the fastener.
6
Always support the ratchet head when using socket extensions.
7
Discard any spanner with broken or battered points or edges.
8
Never use hand type sockets on power or impact tools.
9
Select only heavy-duty impact sockets for use with pneumatic or electric impact tools.
10 Replace sockets showing cracks or wear; keep sockets clean.
11 Never use screwdrivers for prying, punching, chiselling, scoring or scraping.
12 Use the correct type and size of screwdriver for the job. The bit must match the
fastener.
13 A screwdriver with rounded edges will slip; it needs to be redressed or discarded.
14 Never use a screwdriver or any other tool near a live wire or electrical component.
Plastic covering of handles is for comfort and grip only. They are not intended to act
as insulation if such is not clearly marked by the manufacturer.
15 Never strike a hammer against a hardened object; use a soft drift against the object
and strike against the drift.
16 Strike the object with the full face of the hammer.
17 Never use a hammer with a loose head.
18 Discard a hammer with chipped or mushroomed face.
19 Never use a chisel or punch with a chipped or mushroomed striking face.
20 Always pull on a spanner or socket handle, if possible, and adjust your stance to
prevent a fall if something lets go.
21 Wear approved eye protection when using percussion tools or when scraping,
chipping, shaving or grinding.
22 Wear protective gloves when holding a chisel or punch.
S
PECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Batteries
1
The electrolyte in batteries is a sulphuric acid solution which is fatal if it hits your
eyes, and which can cause burns if it contacts your skin. Therefore, be careful when
handling batteries, e.g. when checking the charge condition.
2
Install a sign prohibiting fire, open flame and smoking at the post where batteries are
being charged.
3
When batteries are being charged, an explosive gas mixture forms in the cells and
might escape through the vent holes in the plugs.
Thus an explosive atmosphere may form around the battery if ventilation is poor, and
can remain in and around the battery for several hours after it has been charged.
Therefore:
-
never smoke near batteries being, or having recently been, charged,
-
never break live circuits at battery terminals, because a spark usually occurs.
4
When connecting an auxiliary battery (AB) in parallel to the unit battery (CB) with
booster cables: connect the + pole of AB to the + pole of CB, then connect the - pole
of CB to the mass of the unit. Disconnect in the reverse order.
Ether fuel systems
Ether fuel systems are used for diesel cold starting.
1
This type of fuel is extremely flammable, toxic and poisonous. Avoid contact with
eyes or skin and breathing the fumes. If accidently swallowed, do not induce vomiting
but call a physician immediately.
2
If fuel enters or fumes irritate the eyes, flush the latter with large quantities of clean
water and call for medical aid.
3
Before operating ether cold starting aids, read the instructions and the container label.
4
Never operate ether cold starting aids while the engine is running as this can cause
severe damage.
5
When maintenance, tests or repair has to be performed, do so in a well-ventilated
area only, away from heat, open flame or sparks. Ascertain that the area is clearly
marked out with signs prohibiting fire, open flame and smoking.
6
Wear eye protection when testing a system. Make sure that openings of a spray
container, valve, tube or atomizer are pointed away from yourself and others while
testing.
7
Do not store ether containers in temperatures above 70 °C (160 °F).
8
Do not incinerate, puncture or attempt to remove the centre core valve, side safety
valve or any other part of an ether container.
Pressure vessels
(according to directive 87/404/EEC annex II § 2)
Maintenance/installation requirements:
1
The vessel can be used as pressure vessel or as separator and is designed to hold
compressed air for the following application:
– pressure vessel for compressor,
– medium AIR/OIL,
and operates as detailed on the data plate of the vessel:
– the maximum working pressure ps in bar,
– the maximum working temperature Tmax in °C,
– the minimum working temperature Tmin in °C,
– the capacity of the vessel V in l.
2
The pressure vessel is only to be used for the applications as specified above and in
accordance with the technical specifications. Safety reasons prohibit any other
applications.
3
National legislation requirements with respect to re-inspection must be complied
with.
4
No welding or heat treatment of any kind is permitted to those vessel walls which are
exposed to pressure.
5
The vessel is provided and may only be used with the required safety equipment such
as manometer, overpressure control devices, safety valve, etc.
