Precautions When Working on Machine
When carrying out maintenance operations on the machine,
keep area around your feet clean and tidy to prevent falls.
Always do the following:
• Do not spill oil or grease.
• Do not leave tools laying about.
• Watch your step when walking.
Never jump down from the machine. When getting on or off the
machine, use the steps and handrails, and maintain a
three-point contact (both feet and one hand or both hands and
one foot) to support yourself securely.
If the job requires it, wear protective clothing.
To prevent injury from slipping or falling, when working on the
hood or covers, never use any area except the area equipped
with nonslip pads.
Lock Inspection Covers
When carrying out maintenance with the inspection cover open,
lock the cover securely in position with the lock bar.
If maintenance work is carried out with the inspection cover
open but not locked, there is danger that it may suddenly close
and cause injury if there is a gust of wind.
Prevention of Crushing and Cutting
You should always have at least two people working together if
the engine must be run during service. One person needs to
remain in the operator's seat, ready to work the controls or stop
the machine and shut off the engine.
Unless you are instructed otherwise, never attempt adjustments
while the machine is moving or while the engine is running.
Stay clear of all rotating parts and moving parts.
Keep objects away from moving fan blades. The fan blades will
throw objects and the fan blades can cut objects.
Do not use a wire rope cable that is kinked or frayed. Wear
gloves when you handle a wire rope cable.
When you strike a retainer pin, the retainer pin might fly out. The
loose retainer pin can injure personnel. Make sure that area is
clear of people when you strike a retainer pin. To avoid injury to
your eyes, wear protective glasses when you strike a retainer
pin.
