Precautions When Handling Fluids at High
Temperature
Immediately after operations are stopped, the coolant, engine
oil, and hydraulic oil are at highest temperatures and the radiator
and hydraulic tank are still under pressure. Attempting to
remove cap, drain the oil or coolant, or replacing the filters may
lead to serious burns. Always wait for the temperature to go
down, and follow the specified procedures when carrying out
these operations.
To prevent hot coolant from spurting out, stop engine, wait for
the coolant to cool, then loosen the cap slowly to relieve the
pressure.
To prevent hot oil from spurting out, stop engine, wait for the oil
to cool, then loosen the cap slowly to relieve the pressure.
Asbestos Dust Hazard Prevention
Asbestos dust can be HAZARDOUS to your health if it is
inhaled. Materials containing asbestos fiber can be present on
work site. Breathing air that contains asbestos fiber can ultimately
cause serious or fatal lung damage. To prevent lung damage from
asbestos fiber, observe following precautions:
•
Use a respirator that is approved for use in an asbestos-
laden atmosphere.
•
Never use compressed air for cleaning.
•
Use water for cleaning to keep down the dust.
•
Work on the machine or component with the wind at your
back whenever possible.
•
Always observe any regulations related to the work site
and working environment.
