Service and Repair Manual
Safety Rules
Workplace Safety
Any person working on or around a machine must
be aware of all known safety hazards. Personal
safety and the continued safe operation of the
machine should be your top priority.
Be sure to keep sparks, flames and
lighted tobacco away from flammable and
combustible materials like battery gases
and engine fuels. Always have an
approved fire extinguisher within easy
reach.
Be sure that all tools and working areas
are properly maintained and ready for
use. Keep work surfaces clean and free of
debris that could get into machine
components and cause damage.
Be sure any forklift, overhead crane or
other lifting or supporting device is fully
capable of supporting and stabilizing the
weight to be lifted. Use only chains or
straps that are in good condition and of
ample capacity.
Be sure that fasteners intended for one
time use (i.e., cotter pins and self-locking
nuts) are not reused. These components
may fail if they are used a second time.
Be sure to properly dispose of old oil or
other fluids. Use an approved container.
Please be environmentally safe.
Be sure that your workshop or work area
is properly ventilated and well lit.
