2. HEALTH & SAFETY
Safety Precautions
HOT SURFACES
Avoid contact with hot exhaust systems and engines.
Allow all components in the engine compartment to cool before
performing any service work.
Hydraulic system produces high pressures - incorrect hose
replacement can cause serious personal injury. When performing
service, refer to Service/Parts Manual for hose identification and
connections.
Caution: Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient
force to penetrate the skin, causing serious personal injury.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure from a very small hole can
be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for
possible leaks.
Never use your hands to detect pressure leaks.
Hydraulic tank temperature can reach 180 degrees F maximum.
Never perform any work on the roller while it is running. Before
working on the roller, stop the engine and remove the ignition key to
prevent accidental starting, block drums to prevent rolling.
Keep engine cover closed during the operation.
Keep hands, clothing, and jewelry away from all moving parts.
Keep all guards in place.
Keep feet clear of all drums.
Keep work area free of bystanders
For foot protection, wear steel toe shoes or toe pads.
Pressurized release of fluids from the hydraulic system can cause
serious burns.
Shut off engine. Only remove filler cap when cool enough to touch
with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to first stop to relieve pressure
before removing completely.
