5-1.2.16 Crushing and Cutting Prevention
Support the component properly when working beneath the component.
Unless other maintenance instructions are provided, never attempt adjustments while the engine is running.
Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts. Leave the guards in place unless maintenance is being performed. Remove guards
prior to performing maintenance. After the maintenance is completed, reinstall the guards.
Keep objects away from moving fan blades. The fan blades will throw or cut objects. Do not attempt to stop a fan by bare
hand even though it appears to be moving very slowly. Do not hit a fan blade. Fan blades are made out of plastic and can
break immediately, or become unbalanced and fail later on or they can crack or fracture and fail later on.
Chips or other debris may fl y off objects when objects are struck. Make sure no one is close enough to be injured by fl ying
debris.
5-1.2.17 Mounting and Dismounting
Inspect the stops, the handholds, and the work area before mounting the engine. Keep these items clean and in good repair.
Mount and dismount the engine only at locations that have steps and/or handholds. Do not climb or jump off the engine.
Face the engine in order to mount or dismount the engine. Maintain a three-point contact with the steps and handholds. Use
two feet and one hand or use one foot and two hands. Do not use any controls as handholds.
Do not stand on components which cannot support your weight. Use an adequate ladder or use a work platform. Secure the
climbing equipment so that the equipment will not move.
Do not carry tools or supplies when you mount or dismount the engine. Use a hand line to raise and lower tools or supplies.
5-1.3 Starting the Engine - Safety
5-1.3.1 Before Starting Engine
Inspect the engine for potential hazards.
Before starting the engine, ensure that no one is on, underneath, or close to the engine. All protective guards and all
protective covers must be installed if the engine must be started in order to perform service procedures. To help prevent an
accident that is caused by parts in rotation, work around the parts carefully.
Do not bypass or disable the automatic shut off circuits. The circuits are provided in order to help prevent personal injury and
help prevent engine damage.
On the initial start-up of a new engine or an engine that has been serviced, prepare to stop the engine if an overspeed
condition occurs. This may be accomplished by shutting off the fuel supply to the engine and/or shutting off the air supply to
the engine.
NOTE: When working around engine always wear protective glasses to protect against eye injury.
