13 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.
14 Never strike a hammer against a hardened object; use a soft drift against the object and strike against the drift.
15 Strike the object with the full face of the hammer.
16 Never use a hammer with a loose head.
17 Discard a hammer with chipped or mushroomed face.
18 Never use a chisel or punch with a chipped or mushroomed striking face.
19 Always pull on a wrench or socket handle, if possible, and adjust your stance to prevent a fall if something lets go.
20 Wear approved eye protection when using percussion tools or when scraping, chipping, shaving or grinding.
21 Wear protective gloves when holding a chisel or punch.
1.6 Batteries
1
The electrolyte in batteries is a sulphuric acid solution which can be fatal if swallowed and can cause blindness if the solution
contacts your eyes. It will also 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 AB to the mass of the unit. Disconnect in the reverse order.
Incorrect connection
will damage alternator.
1.7 Ether
fuel
Systems
Ether fuel systems are used for diesel cold starting.
1
Do not use ether as a starting aid in conjuntion with other stating aids (i.e. glow plug, air intake heater etc..) as an explosive
condition may result in severe engine damage or personal injury.
2
This type of fuel is extremely flammable, toxic and poisonous. Avoid contact with eyes or skin and breathing the fumes. If
accidentally swallowed, do not induce vomiting but call a physician immediately.
3
If fuel enters or fumes irritate the eyes, flush the latter with large quantities of clean water and call for medical aid.
4
Before operating ether cold starting aids, read the instructions and the container label.
5
Never operate ether cold starting aids while the engine is running as this can cause severe damage.
6
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.
7
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.
8
Do not store ether containers in temperatures above 160 ºF (70ºC),
9
Do not incinerate, puncture or attempt to remove the center core valve, side safety valve or any other part of an ether
container.
1.8 Pressure
vessels
Maintenance / installation requirements:
1
The vessel can be used as a pressure vessel or as a separator and is designed to hold compressed air for the following
applications:
- pressure vessel for compressor.
- medium AIR/OIL,
and operates as detailed on the data plate of the vessel:
- the maximum working pressure in psi,
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 pressure guage, overpressure
control devices, safety valve, etc.
6
Draining of condensate shall be performed regularly when vessel is in use.
7
Installation, design and connections should not be changed.
8
Bolts of cover and flanges may not be used for extra fixation.
