WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Wear protective clothing and equipment appropriate for the job. Avoid loose-fitting

clothing.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause hearing impairment or hearing loss. Wear
•
suitable hearing protection such as earmuffs or earplugs.
Operating equipment safety requires the full attention of the operator. Avoid wearing
•
radio headphones while operating machinery.
AVOID HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDS HAZARD
• Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing severe injury.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines or performing
•
work on the system.
Ensure all hydraulic fluid connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in
•
good condition before applying pressure to the system.
Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for suspected leaks.

systems.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Remember, any fluid injected into the skin

must be treated within a few hours, or gangrene may result.

TIRE SAFETY

Tire changing can be dangerous, and trained personnel should be the only ones using
•
correct tools and equipment.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to
•
stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if
available.
When removing and installing wheels, use wheel handling equipment adequate for the
•
weight involved.
