14. Repairs which require welding should be
performed only with the benefit of the
appropriate reference information and by
personnel adequately trained and
knowledgeable in welding procedures.
Determine the type of metal being welded and
select correct welding procedure and
electrodes, rods or wire to provide a weld metal
strength equivalent at least to that of parent
metal.
15. Do not damage wiring during removal
operations. Do not reinstall damaged wiring.
Reinstall the wiring so it will not be damaged in
operation by contacting sharp corners, or by
rubbing against an object or hot surface. Do not
connect wiring to a line containing fluid.
16. Be sure all protective devices, including guards
and shields, are properly installed and
functioning correctly before starting a repair. If a
guard or shield must be removed to perform the
repair work, use extra caution.
17. When the mast needs to be in the raised
position during maintenance and repairs, always
support the mast and carriage to keep the
carriage or attachments raised.
18. Loose or damaged fuel, lubricant and hydraulic
lines, or tubes and hoses can cause fires. Do
not bend or strike high pressure lines or install
ones that are bent or damaged. Inspect lines,
tubes and hoses carefully. Do not check for
leaks with your hands. Pin hole (very small)
leaks can result in a high velocity oil stream that
will be invisible upon close inspection of the
hose. This oil can penetrate the skin and cause
serious injury. Use cardboard or paper to locate
pin hole leaks.
19. Tighten connections to the correct torque.
Make sure all heat shields, clamps and guards
are installed correctly to avoid excessive heat,
vibration or rubbing against other parts during
operation. Shields must be correctly installed if
they protect against oil spray onto hot exhaust
components in the event of a line, tube, or seal
failure.
20. Relieve all pressure in air, oil or water systems
before any lines, fittings or related items are
disconnected or removed. Always make sure all
raised components are blocked correctly. Be
alert for possible pressure when disconnecting
any device from a system that uses pressure.
21. Do not operate a truck if any rotating part is
damaged or contacts any other part during
operation. Any high speed rotating component
that has been damaged or altered should be
checked for balance before reusing.
22. Caution should be used to avoid breathing dust
that may be generated when handling
components containing asbestos fibers. If this
dust is inhaled, it can be hazardous to your
health.
If dust containing asbestos is present, there are
several common sense guidelines that should
be followed.
a. Never use compressed air for cleaning.
b. Avoid brushing or grinding asbestos
containing materials.
c. For clean up, use wet methods or a vacuum
equipped with a high efficiency particulate air
(HEPA) filter.
d. Use exhaust ventilation on permanent
machining jobs.
e Wear an approved respirator if there is no
other way to control the dust.
f. Comply with applicable rules and regulations
for the work place.
g. Follow environmental rules and regulations
for disposal of asbestos.
h. Avoid areas where asbestos particles may be
in the air.
