SAFETY
Introduction
Safety is the most important element of any repair
procedure for TICO Pro-Spotter terminal trucks.
Knowledge of the procedure to be performed and safe
work habits are essential to preventing death, personal
injury, or property damage. Use the following statements
as a common-sense guide to proper work and tool-use
habits.
Prepare for the Job
Preparation is essential to complete a procedure in a
safe and efficient manner.
• Wear proper clothing. Loose or baggy clothing could
become tangled in moving parts.
• Use eye/face protection. Always use proper eye/face
protection to protect your eyes from flying debris or
chemical splatters.
• Wear protective footwear. Wear safety shoes
(steel-toe) to protect your feet from falling objects.
• Use gloves when handling parts. Parts may have
sharp edges or may be hot to touch.
• Remove jewelry prior to servicing electrical systems.
• Prepare proper tools and equipment. Always use the
correct tool for the job. Improper or homemade tools
can cause injury or tractor damage.
• Prepare needed parts and materials. Gather the
needed parts and materials before beginning the
procedure.
• Allow the tractor to cool. Many components can get
hot during operation. Be sure to allow enough time
for components to cool before beginning service.
• Prepare proper work-space lighting. A well-lit work
area can make the job easier.
• Follow procedures and safety warnings. Service
procedures are written to be as safe and efficient as
possible. Never take shortcuts.
• Be prepared for emergencies. Accidents can happen,
even under the best conditions. Fire extinguishers
and first aid kits should be well maintained and easily
accessible.
