(8) Maintenance Safety
Understand the service procedures before doing work. Keep working area clean and dry. Never
lubricate, clean, service, or adjust machinery while it is operating unless specified in this manual.
Keep hands, feet, and clothing clear of power-driven parts and in running nip-points. Disengage
all power and operate controls to relieve pressure. Stop the engine, implement the lockout and
tag out procedure and allow the machinery to cool before carrying out any maintenance.
Whenever maintenance or service is being carried out a minimum of two persons must always
be present. NEVER WORK ALONE.
Keep all parts in good condition. Ensure that all parts are properly installed. Fix damage
immediately. Replace worn and broken parts. Remove any build-up of grease, oil, and debris.
Never attempt repairs or adjustments to the machine while it is running unless specified to do so.
Before carrying out any maintenance, relieve all hydraulic pressure by returning the controls to
the neutral position and secure all hydraulically operated attachments with pins provided.
Disconnect the battery ground cable before adjusting electrical systems or welding on machinery.
For the execution of maintenance work, tools and workshop equipment adapted to the task on
hand are indispensable.
Remove only guards or covers that provide access. Wipe away any excess grease and oil. Never
leave guards off or access doors open when unattended. Keep workers and bystanders away if
access doors are open.
When working beneath raised equipment, always use blocks, jack-stands, or other rigid and stable
supports. Make sure that any part of the machine raised for any reason is prevented from falling
by securing in a safe reliable manner. Never work under unsupported equipment.
For carrying out overhead assembly work, always use specially designed or otherwise safety-
oriented ladders and working platforms. Always use any walkway/platforms provided or a safe
and secure platform approved by the regional safety enforcing authority.
When working at height make sure you take all necessary precautions in line with local regulations
and use approved PPE, safety harnesses and work platforms. If you are not aware of working
at height requirements speak to your manager before starting any work. Keep all handles, steps,
handrails, platforms, landing and ladders free from dirt, oil, snow and ice.
When working at height make sure that you take all necessary precautions in line with local
regulations and use approved PPE, safety harnesses and work platforms. If you are not aware
of working at height requirements, speak to your manager before starting any work. Do not use
any unauthorized or unsafe structures or platforms.
Return idler roller guards must be checked for wear/damage during routine maintenance. The
gap between the guard and the idler roller must not exceed 5 mm. The gap between the idler
roller and the guard must be renewed. To obtain an approved replacement, contact your local
EvoQuip dealer.
