Astec Mobile Screens Safety 7 KDS 710
HANDLE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS SAFELY
Direct exposure to hazardous chemicals can cause serious injury. Potentially
hazardous chemicals used with Astec Mobile Screens equipment include such
items as lubricants, coolants, paints, and adhesives. A Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS) provides specic details on chemical products: physical and
health hazards, safety procedures, and emergency response techniques.
Check the MSDS before you start any job using a hazardous chemical. That way
you will know exactly what the risks are and how to do the job safely. Then fol-
low procedures and recommended equipment. (See your Astec Mobile Screens
dealer for MSDS’s on chemical products used with Astec Mobile Screens equip-
ment)
PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE.
Understand service procedure before doing work. Keep area clean and dry.
Never lubricate, service, or adjust machine while it is moving.
Keep hands, feet, and clothing from power-drive parts.
Disengage all power and operate controls to relieve pressure.
Lower equipment to the ground.
Stop the engine.
Remove the key, allow machine to cool.
Securely support any machine elements that must be raised for service work.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damage immediately.
Replace worn or broken parts. Remove any buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
On self-propelled equipment, disconnect battery ground cable (-) before making
adjustments on electrical systems or welding on machine. On towed implements,
disconnect wiring harnesses from tractor before servicing electrical system com-
ponents or welding on machine.
AVOID HIGH PRESSURE FLUIDS
Escaping uid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury or
death.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other
lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body from high
pressure uids.
If an accident occurs, seek medical attention immediately. Any uid injected in the
skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result. Doc-
tors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical
source.
