Working on live components
D If the component must be live during the work, another worker must be standing
by to cut off voltage at the emergency or main switch should an emergency
situation occur. F ollow electrical safety regulations.
D Use a red -and -white safety chain and warning signs to encircle the working area.
D Use only insulated tools.
D Observe special caution.
2.3. Battery maintenance
Always wear eye protection, protective o veralls, and protective glo ves wh en
servicing b atteries.
D Always disconnect the negative (-) pole first, then the positive (+) pole. Always
connect the positive pole (+) first, then the negative (-) pole.
D Reversing battery polarity can result in personal injury caused by sudden
discharge of electrolyte from the battery vents and/or the sudden rupture of the
battery case due to explosion of internal hydrogen gas.
D To prevent sparking when connecting a battery charger, disconnect the charger
supply cord or switch the charger off before connecting the charging wires to the
battery terminals. Open the battery’s cell caps slightly during charging to allow the
gases generated to escape.
D The acid in the battery can burn the skin, eats holes in clothing, and can cause
blindness if it gets in the eyes. If you get battery acid on your skin, flush the area
at once with water. Use sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the acid if it gets in the
eyes. Flush the eyes with water, and call a doctor.
D When servicing batteries, remember that lead-acid batteries generate oxygen and
hydrogen during charging and discharging, which form a highly explosive mixture.
A spark or an open flame can cause an explosion. If necessary, ventilate the battery
compartment properly before disconnecting or connecting the cables.
D To prevent explosion, the electrolyte level must be m aintained and checked
regularly. Add distilled water, if required, before starting -- and never im mediately
after use. With a high enough electrolyte level, the cells have less space for gases.
D Use a flashlight when checking electrolyte levels, never an open flame.
D The battery terminals should never be shorted, as sparks can cause the battery
to explode.
D Do not test electrical devices by making contact with the battery terminal.
2.4. Welding
Before starting to weld, determine the material to be welded and select an appropriate
welding method and fillers. Contact SANDVIK TAMROCK Service, if necessary.
D Do not repair steering equipment by welding.
D Welding m ust be left to qualified personnel.
D Before electrical welding, the main switch m ust be disconnected. Also, Remote
Control equipment (optional) must be disconnected.
