Wear a hard hat, protective glasses, and other
protective equipment, as required.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can snag
on controls or on other parts of the engine.
Make sure that all protective guards and all covers
are secured in place on the engine.
Keep the engine free from foreign material. Remove
debris, oil, tools, and other items from the deck, from
walkways, and from steps.
Never put maintenance fluids into glass containers.
Drain all liquids into a suitable container.
Obey all local regulations for the disposal of liquids.
Use all cleaning solutions with care. Report all
necessary repairs.
Do not allow unauthorized personnel on the
equipment.
Note: Ensure that the power supply is disconnected
before you work on the bus bar or the glow plugs.
Unless you are instructed otherwise, perform
maintenance on the engine with the equipment in
the servicing position. Refer to the OEM information
for the procedure for placing the equipment in the
servicing position.
Pressure Air and Water
Pressurized air and/or water can cause debris
and/or hot water to be blown out. This could result in
personal injury.
When pressurized air and/or water is used for
cleaning, wear protective clothing, protective shoes,
and eye protection. Eye protection includes goggles
oraprotectivefaceshield.
The maximum air
pressure for cleaning purposes
must be below 205 kPa (30 psi). The maximum
water pressure for cleaning purposes must be below
275 kPa (40 psi
).
Fluid Penetra
tion
Pressure can be trapped in the hydraulic circuit long
after the eng
ine has been stopped. The pressure can
cause hydraulic fluid or items such as pipe plugs to
escape rapidly if the pressure is not relieved correctly.
Do not remove any hydraulic components or parts
until pressure has been relieved or personal injury
may occur. Do
not disassemble any hydraulic
components or parts until pressure has been relieved
or personal injury may occur. Refer to the OEM
informatio
n for any procedures that are required to
relieve the hydraulic pressure.

Always use a board or cardboard when you check
for a leak. Leaking fluid that is under pressure can
penetrate body tissue. Fluid penetration can cause
serious injury and possible death. A pin hole leak can
cause severe injury. If fluid is injected into your skin,
you must get treatment immediately. Seek treatment
from a doctor that is familiar with this type of injury.
Containing Fluid Spillage
Care must be taken in order to ensure that fluids
are contained during performance of inspection,
maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the
engine. Make provision to collect the fluid with a
suitable container before any compartment is opened
or before any component is disassembled.
•
Only use the tools that are suitable for collecting
fluids and equipment that is suitable for collecting
fluids.
•
Only use the tools that are suitable for containing
fluids and equipment that is suitable for containing
fluids.
