Burn Prevention; Coolant; Oils; Batteries - Vanguard CPW 125-4-S Series Operation And Maintenance Manual

If it is necessary to remove guards in order to perform maintenance, always install the guards after the maintenance is
performed.
Keep objects away from moving fan blades. The fan blade will throw objects or cut objects.
When you strike a retainer pin with force, the retainer pin can fly out. The loose retainer pin can injure personnel. Make sure
that the area is clear of people when you strike a retainer pin. To avoid injury to your eyes, wear protective glasses when you
strike a retainer pin.
Chips or other debris can fly off an object when you strike the object. Make sure that no one can be injured by flying debris
before striking any object.

Burn prevention

Do not touch any part of an operating engine. Allow machine systems to cool before any maintenance is performed. Relieve
all pressure in the air system, in the oil system, in the lubrication system, in the fuel system, or in the cooling system before
any lines, fittings, or related items are disconnected.

Coolant

At operating temperature, the engine coolant is hot and the engine coolant is under pressure. The radiator and all lines to the
engine contain hot coolant or steam.
Any contact with hot coolant or with steam can cause severe burns and personal injury. Allow cooling system components
to cool before the cooling system is drained.
Only check the coolant level after the engine has been stopped; use the sight gauge on the radiator.
Ensure that the filler cap is cool before removing the filler cap. The filler cap must be cool enough to touch with a bare hand.
Remove the filler cap slowly in order to relieve pressure.
Cooling system conditioner contains alkali. Alkali can cause personal injury. Do not allow alkali to contact the skin, the
eyes, or the mouth.
Allow cooling system components to cool before you drain the cooling system.

Oils

Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil to contact the skin. Also do not allow hot
components to contact the skin.

Batteries

Batteries give off flammable fumes which can explode.
Do not smoke when you observe the battery electrolyte levels.
Electrolyte is an acid. Electrolyte can cause personal injury. Do not allow electrolyte to contact the skin or the eyes. Always
wear protective glasses when you work with batteries. Wash hands after touching the batteries and connectors. Use of gloves
is recommended.
