SERVICE ENGINES SAFELY
Tie long hair behind your head. Do not
wear a necktie, scarf, loose clothing, or
necklace when you work near moving
parts. If these items were to get caught,
severe injury could result. Remove rings
and other jewelry to prevent electrical
shorts and entanglement in moving parts.
PROPER USE OF TOOLS
Use tools appropriate to the work.
Makeshift tools and unfollowed
procedures can create safety hazards. Do
not use U.S mechanical tools on metric
fasteners (i.e. a 1/2 inch wrench on a 13
mm nut).
Use power tools only to loosen threaded parts and
fasteners. For loosening and tightening hardware,
use the correct size tools. Avoid bodily injury caused
by slipping wrenches. Use only service parts meeting
manufacturer specifications.
SUPPORT ENGINES PROPERLY
Always lower the attachment or implement
to the base before you work on an engine.
If the work requires that the engine be
lifted, provide secure system. If left in a
raised position, hydraulically supported
device can settle or leak down. Do not
support engines on any kind of props that may crumble.
Do not work under an engine that is solely supported by
a jack. Follow recommended procedures in this manual.
SAFE ILLUMINATED WORK AREA
Illuminate your work area adequately and safely. Use a
portable safety light for working inside the engine room.
Make sure the bulb is enclosed by a wire cage. The hot
filament of an accidentally broken bulb can ignite spilled
fuel or oil.
PROPER LIFTING EQUIPMENT
Lifting heavy components incorrectly can cause severe
injury or equipment damage. Use expertise of staff
holding relevant(s) legal capacity to operate heavy
lifting equipment, with the know-how of using slings
and chains.
NOISE PROTECTION
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can
cause impairment or loss of hearing. Wear
a suitable hearing protective device such
as earmuffs or earplugs to protect against
objectionnable or uncomfortable loud
noises.
GENSET OUTPUT GENERATED POWER
Genset will deliver a sizeable amount of electrical power
which can be lethal if not handled properly. Thus, any
service, connection or repair on the alternator can only
done by a certified marine electrician.
GUARDS REQUIREMENTS
Rotating cooling system fans, belts,
pulleys, and drives can cause serious
injury. Keep all guards in place at all times
during the engine operation. Wear close-
fitting clothes. Stop the engine and be sure that fans,
belts, pulleys, and drives are stopped before making
adjustments, connections, or cleaning near fans and
their drive components.
