SAFETY
3/5/97 1 - 5
• AVOID HARMFUL ASBESTOS DUST
Avoid breathing dust that may be generated when
handling components containing asbestos fibers.
Inhaled asbestos fibers may cause lung cancer.
Components in products that may contain asbestos
fibers are brake pads and some gaskets. The asbestos
used in these components is usually found in a resin or
sealed in some way. Normal handling is not hazardous
as long as airborne dust containing asbestos is not
generated.
Avoid creating dust. Never use compressed air for
cleaning. Avoid brushing or grinding material
containing asbestos. When servicing, wear an
approved respirator. A special vacuum cleaner is
recommended to clean asbestos. If not available, apply
a mist of oil or water on the material containing
asbestos. Keep bystanders away from the area.
• SERVICE TIRES SAFELY
Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause
serious injury or death.
Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the
proper equipment and experience to perform the job.
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate
the tires above the recommended pressure. Never
weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can
cause an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire
explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform
the wheel.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension
hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and
NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety
cage if available.
• Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles,
damaged rims or missing retaining hardware.
REPLACE DECALS
Replace missing or damaged Decals. See the machine
operator's manual for correct safety sign placement.
LIVE WITH SAFETY
