8
Support the drawbar and the axle(s) securely if working underneath the
unit or when removing a wheel. Do not rely on jacks.
9
Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the unit.
10 Before clearing the unit for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that
operating pressures, temperatures and speeds are correct and that the
control and shut-down devices function correctly.
11 Do not remove any of, or tamper with, the sound-damping material. Keep
the material free of dirt and liquids such as fuel, oil and cleansing agents.
12 Protect the electrical and regulating components, the air filter, etc. to
prevent moisture from entering them, e.g. when steam-cleaning.
T
OOL APPLICATIONS SAFETY
Apply the proper tool for each job. With the knowledge of correct tool use and
knowing the limitations of tools, along with some common sense, many
accidents can be prevented.
Special service tools are available for specific jobs and should be used when
recommended. The use of these tools will save time and prevent damage to
parts.
1
Use only spanners or sockets whose opening fits the fastener.
2
Apply an open-end spanner only in the plane of the fastener head, square
to the thread axis. Never cock an open-end spanner.
3
Do not use a pipe or other improvised leverage extensions on handles.
4
Do not hammer on spanners or other tools which are not specially
designed therefore.
5
Do not use adjustable spanners to tighten or slacken fasteners; they are
intended to hold the other end of the fastener.
6
Always support the ratchet head when using socket extensions.
7
Discard any spanner with broken or battered points or edges.
8
Never use hand type sockets on power or impact tools.
9
Select only heavy-duty impact sockets for use with pneumatic or electric
impact tools.
10 Replace sockets showing cracks or wear; keep sockets clean.
11 Never use screwdrivers for prying, punching, chiselling, scoring or
scraping.
12 Use the correct type and size of screwdriver for the job. The bit must
match the fastener.
13 A screwdriver with rounded edges will slip; it needs to be redressed or
discarded.
14 Never use a screwdriver or any other tool near a live wire or electrical
component. Plastic covering of handles is for comfort and grip only.
They are not intended to act as insulation if such is not clearly marked by
the manufacturer.
15 Never strike a hammer against a hardened object; use a soft drift against
the object and strike against the drift.
16 Strike the object with the full face of the hammer.
17 Never use a hammer with a loose head.
18 Discard a hammer with chipped or mushroomed face.
19 Never use a chisel or punch with a chipped or mushroomed striking face.
20 Always pull on a spanner or socket handle, if possible, and adjust your
stance to prevent a fall if something lets go.
21 Wear approved eye protection when using percussion tools or when
scraping, chipping, shaving or grinding.
22 Wear protective gloves when holding a chisel or punch.

PECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Batteries
1
The electrolyte in batteries is a sulphuric acid solution which is fatal if it
hits your eyes, and which can cause burns if it contacts your skin.
Therefore, be careful when handling batteries, e.g. when checking the
charge condition.
2
Install a sign prohibiting fire, open flame and smoking at the post where
batteries are being charged.
3
When batteries are being charged, an explosive gas mixture forms in the
cells and might escape through the vent holes in the plugs.
Thus an explosive atmosphere may form around the battery if ventilation
is poor, and can remain in and around the battery for several hours after it
has been charged. Therefore:
-
never smoke near batteries being, or having recently been, charged,
-
never break live circuits at battery terminals, because a spark usually
occurs.
4
When connecting an auxiliary battery (AB) in parallel to the unit battery
(CB) with booster cables: connect the + pole of AB to the + pole of CB,
then connect the - pole of CB to the mass of the unit. Disconnect in the
reverse order.
Ether fuel systems
Ether fuel systems are used for diesel cold starting.
1
This type of fuel is extremely flammable, toxic and poisonous. Avoid
contact with eyes or skin and breathing the fumes. If accidently
swallowed, do not induce vomiting but call a physician immediately.
2
If fuel enters or fumes irritate the eyes, flush the latter with large
quantities of clean water and call for medical aid.
3
Before operating ether cold starting aids, read the instructions and the
container label.
4
Never operate ether cold starting aids while the engine is running as this
can cause severe damage.
5
When maintenance, tests or repair has to be performed, do so in a well-
ventilated area only, away from heat, open flame or sparks. Ascertain that
the area is clearly marked out with signs prohibiting fire, open flame and
smoking.
6
Wear eye protection when testing a system. Make sure that openings of a
spray container, valve, tube or atomizer are pointed away from yourself
and others while testing.
7
Do not store ether containers in temperatures above 70 ¡C (160 ¡F).
8
Do not incinerate, puncture or attempt to remove the centre core valve,
side safety valve or any other part of an ether container.
Pressure vessels
(according to directive 87/404/EEC annex II § 2)
Maintenance/installation requirements:
1
The vessel can be used as pressure vessel or as separator and is designed
to hold compressed air for the following application:
Ð pressure vessel for compressor,
Ð medium AIR/OIL,
and operates as detailed on the data plate of the vessel:
Ð the maximum working pressure ps in bar,
Ð the maximum working temperature Tmax in ¡C,
Ð the minimum working temperature Tmin in ¡C,
Ð the capacity of the vessel V in l.
2
The pressure vessel is only to be used for the applications as specified
above and in accordance with the technical specifications. Safety reasons
prohibit any other applications.
3
National legislation requirements with respect to re-inspection must be
complied with.
4
No welding or heat treatment of any kind is permitted to those vessel
walls which are exposed to pressure.
5
The vessel is provided and may only be used with the required safety
equipment such as manometer, overpressure control devices, safety valve,
etc.
