CHAPTER 2 – SAFETY / DECALS / HAND SIGNALS
2-11
In the event of carrying out any work outside the
workshop, park machine on level ground and chock all
wheels. Do not rely on damaged cables or chains. Ne-
ver use them for lifting or towing. Use only proper safety
gloves to handle them.
The area where service operations are carried out must
be kept clean and dry at all times. Immediately eliminate
any impounded water or oil spills on the oor.
Do not pile up rags or cloth soaked in oil, grease or am-
mable uid. These are serious re hazards. Dispose of
them in closed metal containers.
Prior to operating the machine or engaging any im-
plements or attachments, check, adjust and lock the
operator’s seat in position. Ensure no one is within the
machine’s area of operation.
Rust inhibitors usually are volatile, ammable products.
These must always be used in properly ventilated envi-
ronments. Containers must be kept in fresh, dry, ventila-
ted places not accessible to non-authorized people.
Do not carry in your pockets objects that can drop into
machine slots or openings.
Clutches, brakes and other auxiliary equipment (distribu-
tor, cylinders, etc.) must be properly adjusted according
to procedures published in the technical literature. Do not
adjust with the engine running.
When welding, use of safety welder’s glasses, safety hel-
met, leather apron, gloves and safety shoes is mandatory.
Safety glasses must also be used by persons in the adja-
cent area, even if not participating in the work.
Never stare into the weld beam without proper eye pro-
tection.
Prior to performing any welding work on fuel tanks or ad-
jacent to fuel tanks, drain all the contents from the tank
and ush it properly to remove all residue and fumes that
may have remained inside the tank.
Try to become thoroughly familiar with the capacity and
operation of hydraulic jacks or other lifting devices.
Remember that the attaching point for lifting the machine
must be appropriate to the load to be lifted and that the
machine area of support on the ground must be stable.
Any loads lifted with a hydraulic jack or loads lifted with
other lifting means are hazardous. Prior to lifting, transfer
the weight from the hydraulic jacks to other more secure
means (stands, etc.).
Wire cables fray out with use. When handling wire cables,
wear proper protection (safety goggles, leather rasp sa-
fety gloves, etc.).
Handle all parts with extreme care. Keep your hands and
ngers out of slots, gears and similar items.
