Maintenance Safety

Communications
Bad communications can cause accidents. If two or
more people are working on the machine, make sure
each is aware of what the others are doing. Before
starting the engine make sure the others are clear of
the danger areas; examples of danger areas are: the
rotating blades and belt on the engine, the
attachments and linkages, and anywhere beneath or
behind the machine. People can be killed or injured if
these precautions are not taken.

get it repaired straight away. Neglect of necessary
repairs could result in an accident or affect your
health. Do not try to do repairs or any other type of
maintenance work you do not understand. To avoid
injury and/or damage get the work done by a specialist
engineer.

Battery Gases
Batteries give off explosive gases. Keep flames and
sparks away from the battery. Do not smoke close to
the battery. Make sure there is good ventilation in
closed areas where batteries are being used or
charged. Do not check the battery charge by shorting
the terminals with metal; use a hydrometer or
voltmeter.

Fluid Under Pressure
Fine jets of fluid at high pressure can penetrate the
skin. Keep face and hands well clear of fluid under
pressure and wear protective glasses. Hold a piece of
cardboard close to suspected leaks and then inspect
the cardboard for signs of fluid. If fluid penetrates your
skin, get medical help immediately.
