Avoid Heating Near Pressurized Fluid Lines; Avoid Applying Heat To Lines Con- Taining Flammable Fluids; Remove Paint Before Welding Or Heating - Hitachi ZAXIS 160LC-3 Technical Manual

AVOID HEATING NEAR PRESSURIZED
FLUID LINES
Flammable spray can be generated by heating near
pressurized fluid lines, resulting in severe burns to
yourself and bystanders.
•
Do not heat by welding, soldering, or using a torch
near pressurized fluid lines or other flammable
materials.
•
Pressurized lines can be accidentally cut when
heat goes beyond the immediate flame area. In-
stall temporary fire-resistant guards to protect
hoses or other materials before engaging in
welding, soldering, etc..
AVOID APPLYING HEAT TO LINES CON-
TAINING FLAMMABLE FLUIDS
Do not weld or flame cut pipes or tubes that contain
flammable fluids.
Clean them thoroughly with nonflammable solvent
before welding or flame cutting them.
REMOVE PAINT BEFORE WELDING OR
HEATING
Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint is
heated by welding, soldering, or using a torch. If
inhaled, these fumes may cause sickness.
•
Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust.
•
Do all such work outside or in a well-ventilated
area. Dispose of paint and solvent properly.
•

Remove paint before welding or heating:

1. If you sand or grind paint, avoid breathing the
dust.
Wear an approved respirator.
2. If you use solvent or paint stripper, remove
stripper with soap and water before welding.
Remove solvent or paint stripper containers and
other flammable material from area. Allow fumes
to disperse at least 15 minutes before welding or
heating.
