2.3.1 Mechanical Hazards
• Worn Hoses and Safety Restraints
Regularly inspect and replace all exible hose assemblies and restraints.
• Cooling Water Hoses
Cooling water hoses degrade over time and need to be replaced on a yearly basis. Degraded hoses
become brittle and can break or separate from the tting when manipulated. To minimize the risk
of failure, inspect the hoses regularly and replace as required.
Wait until the machine has cooled down before servicing cooling water hoses.
• Seized Screws or Plugs
If screws or plugs cannot be removed by normal methods using standard tooling and force, there is
a high possibility these items have become seized; contact Husky for repair recommendation.
WARNING!
Mechanical and/or ying debris hazard - Tool breakage: risk projectile debris, serious injury
and/or mechanical damage. Do not use excessive force and/or use tools beyond their
designated limits. Do not use torque multiplying bars. Failure of tools may produce
fragments that can become projectiles that may cause injury. For seized parts, consult
Husky for safe disassembly instructions.
NOTE:
Manifold plugs are not a eld repairable item and should never be removed. These items can only
be serviced at a Husky manufacturing location.
2.3.2 Burn Hazards
• Hot Surfaces
The mold area, auxiliary mold equipment, and injection unit heating elements have numerous high
temperature surfaces. At normal operating temperatures, contact with these surfaces will cause
severe skin burns. These areas are clearly marked with safety signs. Wear personal protective
equipment when working in these areas.
