General Hazard Information; Pressure Air And Water; Trapped Pressure - Vanguard CPW 125-4-S Series Operation And Maintenance Manual

General Hazard Information

Before you service the equipment or before you repair the equipment, attach a "Do Not Operate"
tag or similar tag to the start switch or controls.
Know the width of your equipment in order to maintain proper clearance near fences, boundary
obstacles, etc.
This attachment extends significantly beyond the carrier increasing the overall length and/or
width, be especially aware of the additional length and/or width when turning and maneuvering
the carrier vehicle.
Follow all safety regulations, procedures and precautions that govern the work site, including:
wearing a hard hat, protective glasses and other protective equipment in order to accommodate job
conditions.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can catch on controls or other parts of the equipment.
Keep all equipment free from foreign material. Remove debris, oil, tools and other items.
Secure all loose items that are not part of the machine; tools, lunchboxes, water bottles, etc.
Know the appropriate work site hand signals. Also, know the personnel that are authorized to give the hand signals. Accept
signals from one person only.
Never put maintenance fluids into glass containers. Drain all liquids into a suitable container.
When you discard liquids, obey all local regulations.
Use all cleaning solutions with care.
Report all necessary repairs.
Do not allow unauthorized personnel on the machine.
Perform the maintenance with the carrier parked on level ground as per the manufacturer's instructions

Pressure Air and water

Pressurized air and/or water can cause debris and/or hot water to be blown out. The debris and/or hot water could result in
personal injury.
When pressurized air and/or pressurized water are used for cleaning, wear protective clothing, protective shoes, and eye
protection. Eye protection includes goggles or a protective face shield.
The maximum air pressure for cleaning purposes must be reduced to 205 kPa (30 psi) when the nozzle is deadheaded and
the nozzle is used with an effective chip deflector and personal protective equipment. The maximum water pressure for
cleaning purposes must be below 275 kPa (40 psi).

Trapped Pressure

Pressure can be trapped in a hydraulic system. Trapped pressure can cause sudden equipment movement. Use caution if you
disconnect hydraulic lines or fittings. High-pressure oil that is released can cause a hose to whip. High-pressure oil that is
released can cause oil to spray. Fluid penetration can cause serious injury and possible death.
