Safety
General Precautions
(Foam fire extinguisher) as per the
manufacturer's procedures indicated on
the containers. Operate in a well-ventilated
place.
● Never use fuel for cleaning purpose.
Always use non-inflammable solvent.
● Please open doors and windows for
thorough ventilation during the handling
of fuel and the cleaning of oil stain or
paint.
● Preserve all inflammable liquids and
materials in a safe and well-ventilated
place.
● The short-circuit of electric system will
probably result in fire. Daily check the
wire connections for looseness and
damage. Re-tighten loose connectors and
cable clamps. Repair or replace damaged
wires.
● Fire accident caused by pipelines: Ensure
that the clamps, protection devices, and
cushion pads of hoses and pipes are
securely fixed. In event of looseness, the
hoses and pipes will be damaged due to
vibration or contact with other parts during
operations. This will probably result in
spray of high pressure oil to cause fire
accident or harms.
Toxic Exhaust Gas from Engine
● Do not operate the engine in an enclosed
place with poor ventilation.
● If the natural ventilation is not possible,
install ventilation fan, fan, extended
exhaust pipe, or other ventilation device.
Handling of Asbestos Powders
The inhalation of asbestos powders will
probably cause lung cancer. While handling the
materials probably containing asbestos, take the
following safety measures:
● Do not sweep by compressed air.
● Avoid polishing or grinding
asbestos-contained parts.
● During cleaning, use a vacuum device
installed with high-efficiency particulate
air filter (HEPA).
● If there is no other method for control of
powders, please wear the specified
respirator. During indoor operations,
please install a ventilation system with
polymer filter.
