Think Safety First (continued)
Safety: Safety Instructions
•
Avoid injury to bystanders...
Always clear the area of bystanders before starting or testing powered
equipment.
•
Avoid injury due to projectiles...
Always clear the area of sticks, rocks or any other debris that could be
picked up and thrown by the powered equipment.
•
Avoid modifications...
Do not alter or modify any part unless it is a factory approved procedure.
•
Avoid unsafe operation...
Always test the safety interlock system after making adjustments or
repairs on the machine. Refer to the Electrical section in this manual
for more information.
•
Avoid electrical shock...
– Never touch electrical wires or components while the engine is running.
They can be sources of shock.
– De-energize the system if you are having to do repairs.
– If testing electrical components ensure you are working in a dry
environment.
– Do not wear metal jewelry when working on or near electrical components
or wiring.
•
Avoid contact with pressurized hydraulic fluid...
– Release all pressure in the hydraulic system before performing any work
on the system.
– Keep your body and hands away from pin-hole leaks or nozzles that
eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure. Hydraulic fluid escaping under
pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious
injury. Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks; never use your
hands. If hydraulic fluid is injected into your skin, the fluid damage
to your body must be surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may result.
•
Use personal protective equipment...
– Tie back long hair, and do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
– Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for protecting
yourself from potential hazards in the environment in which you will work.
– Each process outlined in this manual may need different PPE to protect
the service person. Use the proper PPE for the task at hand.
•
Using tools...
– All tools should be in proper working order. Do not use tools that are
broken or in disrepair.
– Use the proper tool for the proper application.
•
Using lifts, hoists, and jacks...
– All lifts, hoists, and jacks should be used in accordance with the
manufacturer information.
– Inspect lifts, hoists, and jacks prior to use.
– Do not over load lifts, hoists, and jacks.
– Do not work under a suspended load.
– Ensure chock blocks are used on equipment that can move.
