When the engine is coupled to the radiator or other
equipment, install protective covers around the
exposed connecting belt and coupling.
Never remove protective covers.

Chapter 1 BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Lockout and Tagout

Be sure to lockout/tagout before starting inspection
and maintenance work.
Lockout and tagout are effective methods of cutting off
machines and equipment from energy sources.
To accomplish the lockout/tagout, remove the starter
switch key, place the battery switch to the OFF posi-
tion and attach a "DO NOT OPERATE" or similar cau-
tion tag to the starter switch.
The starter switch key must be kept by the person
who performs inspection and maintenance during the
work.
Stop the Engine Before Servic-
ing
Be sure to stop the engine before proceeding with
inspection and maintenance work. Never attempt to
make adjustments on the engine parts while the
engine is running.
Entanglement in rotating parts can result in serious
injury or death.
Always Restore Engine Turning
Tools After Use
Be sure to remove all turning tools after maintenance
and inspection work. Remember also that the manual
turning gear shaft must be pulled out before starting
the engine.
Starting the engine with the turning tools inserted or
with the turning gear in engagement can lead to not
only engine damage but also personal injuries.
