DO NOT
● Work on or around the engine whilst it is running except to adjust idle settings.
● Remove engine radiator cap when the engine is hot, without first covering the cap
with a cloth. Release it slowly, otherwise there is a risk of being scalded by escaping
coolant.
● Touch any part of the engine exhaust system without first allowing it to cool
sufficiently.
● Drain engine oil until it has cooled, to avoid scalding.
● Work on the braking system without first discharging the accumulators by 60 full
applications of the foot brake.
● Disconnect hydraulic or water pipes whilst the engine is running.
● Approach fan inlet or outlet whilst the fan is running.
ALWAYS
● Ensure the machine is standing on firm, level ground and there are no obstructions
above or to the rear before raising the hopper.
● Ensure that the body is resting on the body prop before working underneath the
raised hopper.
● Keep hands, loose clothing, hair etc, well clear of moving parts.
● Use approved safety platforms/gantries when working above ground level. Get a
second person to check periodically when only one person is working on access
equipment or inside the body.
● Ensure the operators and service personnel are fully conversant with the controls
and their operation.
● Disconnect the vehicle battery when working on the electrical system or when
carrying out any welding on the vehicle.
● Remove ignition key when working on the vehicle. Ensure all personnel are clear of
the vehicle before restarting engine.
● Ensure all guards and covers are refitted after servicing.
● Disconnect or isolate the air system before working on any pneumatic items.
