MAINTENANCE SAFETY
SANY cannot foresee every circumstance that might involve a hazard in operation or maintenance. Therefore, the
hazard alerts in this manual and on the machine may not include all possible safety precautions.
Make sure all procedures and actions can be safely performed without damaging the machine or causing injury.
When unsure about the safety of a procedure, contact a SANY dealer.
Before carrying out any repair, read all the safety messages on the machine associated with the procedure.
Wear and use the proper personal protective equipment (PPE), including (but not limited to) safety shoes, a hard
hat, gloves, and goggles.
When carrying out any operation with two or more workers, always agree on the operating procedure before
starting.
Park the machine on a hard, level surface, lower the work equipment, shut down the engine, and block the tracks to
prevent the machine from moving before performing any maintenance or repairs.
Always perform the lockout/tagout procedure before servicing the machine.
Always inform fellow workers before starting any step of the operation.
Before disconnecting or removing components of the hydraulic system, relieve the system pressure. See “Relieve
Hydraulic System Pressure” on page 5-37.
Before disconnecting or removing components of the hydraulic system, relieve the system pressure to prevent
fluids from spraying. See “Relieve Hydraulic System Pressure” on page 5-37.
The engine coolant and oil in the machine may be hot even after the engine is stopped. Wait for the engine coolant
and oil systems to cool before working on them.
When checking the machine with the engine running (i.e., measuring oil pressure, rpm, or temperature), take
extreme care to avoid rotating or moving parts.
NOTE: The electrical circuit remains active to a few components even when the battery disconnect is in the
OFF position.
Turn the battery disconnect switch OFF unless it is needed for the procedure.
When removing hoses or lines, close all openings using caps and plugs. If any fuel or oil fluids leak, clean them up
immediately.
When installing high-pressure hoses, make sure they are not twisted. Damaged hoses are dangerous and should be
replaced. Take extreme caution when installing hoses for high-pressure circuits. Make sure fittings are correctly
installed and tightened.
When assembling or installing parts, always tighten them to the specified torques. When installing protective parts
(such as guards) or parts that vibrate or rotate at high speed, make sure they are installed correctly.
