• Batteries produce explo-
sive gases. Keep sparks,
flame and cigarettes
away. Ventilate when
charging or servicing
in an enclosed space.
Always shield your eyes
when working near bat-
teries. When removing
battery cables, disconnect the negative (-) cable
first. When installing a battery, always connect the
positive (+) cable first. This procedure will help to
prevent a spark which could cause an explosion.
• Before making adjustments to the engine or chassis
electrical system, disconnect the battery. An elec-
trical spark could cause a fire, explosion or severe
burns.
Safety Equipment
• Ensure test equipment is in good condition.
• If an instrument must be held while taking measure-
ments, ground the case of the instrument before
energizing equipment.
• Do not touch live equipment or personnel working
on live equipment while holding a multimeter. Some
types of measuring devices should not be ground-
ed—do not hold such devices while taking measure-
ments.
• Prevent personal injury or equipment damage by us-
ing a lifting device with a lifting capacity greater than
twice the weight of any equipment to be lifted.
• Always use personal protective equipment (PPE) ap-
propriate to the situation. This may include the use
of hearing protection, eye protection, a respirator, a
hard hat, leather gloves, steel toed boots, etc.
Electrical Hazards
• An electric shock could
be fatal. Ensure power to
the baler is “OFF” before
opening electrical panels.
• All electrical cables and
connectors must be in
good condition (free
of corrosion, damage,
etc). Use caution in wet
weather to avoid danger
from electrical shock.
Never attempt electrical
testing or repair while
standing in water.
• Do not wear electrically
conductive jewelry, cloth-
ing, or other items while working on the electrical
system.
Hot Oil Hazards
• Burns from hot oil can be severe—Always allow
lubricating and hydraulic oil to cool before draining.
Compressed Air Hazards
• When using compressed air to dry parts, pressure
should not exceed 30 psi (200 kPa).
• Air pressure penetrating your skin can be fatal.
Never direct compressed air at anyone.
