USE APPROPRIATE TOOLS
Use proper tools and handle them in correct manners. Using a
damaged or deformed tool and using it for any purpose other than
its intended application may giving rise to a serious bodily accident.
PRECAUTIONS FOR WORKING AT HIGH ELEVATION
Secure scaffolding by using a workbench with the stairs when working at high elevation.
CAUTIONS WHEN WORKING UNDER THE MACHINE AND CRANE
• For lifting up the machine, use a hoist or hydraulic jack in good
condition and having enough strength to withstand the weight of
components. Note that the hydraulic jack should not be used for
lifting any part that is damaged, bent or twisted. Further, the wire
rope to be used for hoisting shall not include broken wires, be
reduced in diameter or kinked. Do not use a hook that is bent or
damaged.
• When unavoidably going under the lifted machine to perform
inspection and maintenance servicing, securely support the
machine by using blocks and stays that are sturdy enough to
withstand the machine weight. Failure to support the machine
securely may cause falling of the machine, resulting in a serious
bodily accident.
• Do not use concrete blocks for supporting the machine. A
concrete block may readily be broken even under a light load.
CLEAN BEFORE INSPECTION OR MAINTENANCE
• Before starting an inspection or maintenance, clean the machine
and prevent rubbish from entering the machine and make sure the
safety will be ensured during maintenance.
• Attempt to inspect or maintain the machine still dirty not only
lessens chance of locating faulty part, but may cause rubbish or
mud entering your eye, or slipping and tripping that result in injury.
• Always observe the following when washing the vehicle.
• Use anti-slip shoes to prevent slips and trips caused by wet
foothold.
• Put on protective equipment when using a high pressure steam
car washer. Avoid an accident from high pressure water which
causes skin laceration or mud or other substance to fly to eyes.
• Do not directly spray water onto the electrical system (sensors,
connectors (1), controllers, machine monitor). Water entering
the electrical system is dangerous and will cause faulty or
improper operations.
• Do not spray water directly in the area of operator’s seat or its
underside.
