New Holland CSX7000 Service Manual page 13

When loading or unloading the machine from the trailer (or other means of transport), select a flat area capable of
•
sustaining the trailer or truck wheels. Firmly secure the machine to the truck or trailer and lock the wheels in the
position used by the carrier.
Electric heaters, battery-chargers and similar equipment must only be powered by auxiliary power supplies with
•
efficient ground insulation to avoid electrical shock hazards.
Always use suitable hoisting or lifting devices when raising or moving heavy parts.
•
Take extra care if bystanders are present.
•
Never use gasoline, diesel oil or other inflammable liquids as cleaning agents. Use non-inflammable, non toxic
•
commercially available solvents.
Wear safety goggles with side guards when cleaning parts with compressed air.
•
Reduce the air pressure according to the local regulations in force.
•
Do not run the engine in confined spaces without suitable ventilation.
•
Never use naked flames for lighting when working on the machine or checking for leaks.
•
All movements must be carried out carefully when working under, on or near the machine. Wear protective equip-
•
ment: helmets, goggles and special footwear.
When carrying out checks with the engine running, request the assistance of an operator in the driver's seat. The
•
operator must maintain visual contact with the service technician at all times.
If operating outside the workshop, position the machine on a flat surface and lock in position. If working on a slope,
•
lock the machine in position. Move to a flat area as soon as is safely possible.
Damaged or bent chains or cables are unreliable. Do not use them for lifting or towing. Always use suitable
•
protective gloves when handling chains or cables.
Chains should always be safely secured. Make sure that the hitch-up point is capable of sustaining the load in
•
question. Keep the area near the hitch-up point, chains or cables free of all bystanders.
Maintenance and repair operations must be carried out in a CLEAN and DRY area. Eliminate any water or oil
•
spillage immediately.
Do not create piles of oil or grease-soaked rags as they represent a serious fire hazard. Always store rags in a
•
closed metal container. Before engaging the machine, make sure that there are no persons within the machine or
implement range of action.
Empty your pockets of all objects that may fall accidentally unobserved into the machine inner compartments.
•
In the presence of protruding metal parts, use protective goggles or goggles with side guards, helmets, special
•
footwear and gloves.
When welding, use protective safety devices: tinted safety goggles, helmets, special overalls, gloves and footwear.
•
All persons present in the area where welding is taking place must wear tinted goggles. NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY
AT THE WELDING ARC WITHOUT SUITABLE EYE PROTECTION.
Metal cables tend to fray with repeated use. Always use suitable protective devices (gloves, goggles, etc.) when
•
handling cables.
Handle all parts carefully. Do not put your hands or fingers between moving parts. Wear suitable safety clothing -
•
safety goggles, gloves and shoes.
