SERIES 60 SERVICE MANUAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS The following safety measures are essential when working on the Series 60 engine. Exhaust (Start/Run Engine) Before starting and running an engine, adhere to the following safety precautions: To avoid injury before starting and running the engine, ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface, parking brake is set, and the wheels are blocked. PERSONAL INJURY PERSONAL INJURY Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. Always start and operate an engine in a well ventilated area.
If operating an engine in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside. Do not modify or tamper with the exhaust system or emission control system. Stands Safety stands are required in conjunction with hydraulic jacks or hoists. Do not rely on either the jack or the hoist to carry the load. When lifting an engine, ensure the lifting device is fastened securely. Ensure the item to be lifted does not exceed the capacity of the lifting device. Glasses Select appropriate safety glasses for the job. It is especially important to wear safety glasses when using tools such as hammers, chisels, pullers or punches.
