Safety precautions for servicing
Most accidents during servicing arise from carelessness. Please remember that Safety involves both the
welfare of the employees and improved work efficiency.
Safety precautions for Disassembly and reassembly
Machines must be disassembled and assembled efficiently and safely.
It is very important to thoroughly understand the construction and function of the machine, to make all
appropriate preparations, and start operations according to the specified working procedures.
a. Safety measures before starting
work
(1) Work clothes
1. Wear specified work cap and clothed. (Under
no circumstances may workers wear
undershirts only.)
Cuffs must be kept buttoned, and any tears
must be mended.)
2. Wear safety shoes.
3. Do not wear cotton gloves when working on the
internal section of engine, reduction gears or
hydrauric units for repair or others, or when
using a hammer. Wear leather gloves, however,
when hoisting wires.
(2) Inspecting equipment and tools
1. Prepare equipment (cranes, fork lifts, tool, etc.)
required for servicing and inspect for any
problems before starting work.
2. Hammer heads (metal parts) must be firmly
secured to their handles.
3. Check hosting tools (wire ropes, hoisting
chains, etc.) before use.
(3) Keep workshop in order
1. Secure appropriate space needed for
disassembly to the job.
2. Secure a clean, safe place for arranging
disassembled parts.
3. Store volatile substances (gasoline, light oil,
thinner, oily articles, etc.) in appropriate
containers at selected locations to prevent fire
hazards.
b. Safety measures during work
(1) Protectors

2. Use appropriate protectors during welding.
3. Wear a helmet when working with a crane or at
elevated locations.
(2) Team work

the work and maintain close communication.
2. Crane work must be carried out using
predetermined signals.
(3) Disassembly and assembly
1. Do not wear gloves when using hammers.
2. Use rods of the specified soft material for
removing pins. Do not use a hammer as a pad.
