SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Most maintenance injuries occur during welding or when using hammers or wrenches. The most
common faults are improper work position, a slipped tool, missed aim, a broken tool, flying chips
and no welding hood.
Think before you act. A careful operator or maintenance man is the best insurance against an
accident.
Always wear proper safety equipment. Avoid wearing jewelry and loose fitting clothing; they could
catch on moving parts, which could result in serious injury or death. Hard hat, sturdy rough-soled
work shoes or safety shoes, ear protectors, reflective clothing, safety glasses and heavy gloves
may be required. Consult your employer for specific safety equipment requirements.
Each job site and application may have personal safety requirements. Carefully evaluate your
particular application and machine for equipment such as heater and defroster, all windshield
wipers, warning lights, side view and rearview mirrors, back-up alarms, fire extinguisher, rotating
beacons and additional lights. If in doubt, contact your distributor.
It is recommended that the machine be equipped with a fully charged fire extinguisher and the first
aid kit. All personnel should be instructed in fire extinguisher proper usage. Recharge immediately
after use.
The fire extinguisher is to be placed in an operator’s cab to the right of his seat. Fig. 1.2 shows the
fire extinguisher location.
It is placed in a holder preventing uncontrolled movement during machine operation. In case of
a fire the extinguisher can be easily removed from the holder. The extinguisher is provided with
a label containing the instructions of its use and application. The operator should be familiar with
these instructions.
