SAFETY PROCEDURES
SAFETY PROCEDURES
Expensive damage will occur if proper preparation
is not taken before welding on the machine. Be
sure to disconnect battery cables, the engine ECM
(engine control module), and the DEF tank con-
troller before welding. Follow the specific Engine
MFG. instructions for proper welding and grounding
procedures, before attempting to weld on the
machine. If welding on the machine, do not ground
the welder through the machine bearings, ground
near work to be performed.
NOTICE
Before you begin to transport your trailerized
machine follow all of the transportation procedures
on page 19. Make sure that the tongue has been
raised to the proper height and attach the machine
securely to the towing vehicle. Once secured to
vehicle, locate tongue jack and secure it in the
transport position. Always hook safety chains to
vehicle by crossing them under the tongue allowing
enough slack to avoid binding or dragging the ground
when making turns. Check brakes and highway lights
make sure that they are all operating properly. Check
that the plug terminal functions match the towing
vehicle for proper operation. Be sure to check tire
pressure before you begin to transport the machine.
Store remote or tether in control cabinet. Close and
secure any of the following, if equipped: tool box,
battery box, engine cowl doors and side panels,
radiator debris screens, inspection doors, cabinet
doors, housing covers, tank caps and covers, etc.
WARNING
!
Check laws and regulations. Know and obey all
federal, state, and local laws and regulations that
apply to your work situation and the transportation
of a machine this size.
WARNING
!
CLEAN MACHINE OF ALL DEBRIS!
DO NOT
leave this machine unattended until all potential fire
debris is removed, no fire or smoldering exists, and
hot spots are cold. The engine creates many hot
spots including: exhaust manifold, exhaust, turbo (if
equipped), etc. Remove all flammable debris such
as wood, chips, leaves, oils, fuels, etc. from engine
exhaust, engine turbo (if equipped), beside, around,
and under engine, around and under tanks, inside
and around (including behind) the beltshield and
guards, inside battery and tool boxes, inside cabinets
(if equipped), and anywhere materials collect.
ALWAYS keep several type A:B:C fire extinguishers
operational and on the job at all times.
WARNING
!
EXPLOSION HAZARD
: Ultra low sulfur diesel
(ULSD) poses a greater static ignition hazard than
earlier diesel formulations with higher sulfur content.
Avoid death or serious injury from fire or explosion;
consult with your fuel or fuel system supplier to
ensure the delivery system is in compliance with
fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding
practices.
WARNING
!
Never use jumper cables during freezing
temperatures. Tow the machine inside and allow
the battery time to warm up. If the machine must
be started outside, inspect the battery acid for ice
formation. Explosion will occur with a frozen battery.
If the machine is going to be operated in excessively
cold conditions, a larger cold cranking amp battery
may be needed to ensure proper and prompt
starting. Never use jumper cables in a confined or
unventilated area. Battery acid fumes are explosive.
Battery acid can cause severe burns. Never expose
an open flame or spark near the battery. Keep all
burning materials away from the battery. When
servicing the battery, shield eyes and face, and do
not smoke. Service in a well ventilated area.
