SEBU9064 7 Safety Section Burn Prevention Never put maintenance fluids into glass containers. Drain all liquids into a suitable container. Obey all local regulations for the disposal of liquids. Use all cleaning solutions with care. Report all necessary repairs. Do not allow unauthorized personnel on the equipment. Ensure that the power supply is disconnected before you work on the bus bar or the glow plugs. Perform maintenance on the engine with the equipment in the servicing position. Refer to the OEM information for the procedure for placing the equipment in the servicing position. Illustration 5 g00687600 Pressure Air and Water Always use a board or cardboard when you check for a leak.
Leaking fluid that is under pressure can penetrate body tissue. Fluid penetration can cause serious injury and possible death. A pin hole leak can cause severe injury. If fluid is injected into your skin, you must get treatment immediately. Seek treatment from a doctor that is familiar with this type of injury. Pressurized air and/or water can cause debris and/or hot water to be blown out. This could result in personal injury. The direct application of pressurized air or pressurized water to the body could result in personal injury. Containing Fluid Spillage When pressurized air and/or water is used for cleaning, wear protective clothing, protective shoes, and eye protection.
Eye protection includes goggles or a protective face shield. Care must be taken in order to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the engine. Make provision to collect the fluid with a suitable container before any compartment is opened or before any component is disassembled. The maximum air pressure for cleaning purposes must be below 205 kPa (30 psi). The maximum water pressure for cleaning purposes must be below 275 kPa (40 psi). Only use the tools that are suitable for collecting fluids and equipment that is suitable for collecting fluids.
Fluid Penetration Pressure can be trapped in the hydraulic circuit long after the engine has been stopped. The pressure can cause hydraulic fluid or items such as pipe plugs to escape rapidly if the pressure is not relieved correctly. Only use the tools that are suitable for containing fluids and equipment that is suitable for containing fluids. Obey all local regulations for the disposal of liquids. Do not remove any hydraulic components or parts until pressure has been relieved or personal injury may occur. Do not disassemble any hydraulic components or parts until pressure has been relieved or personal injury may occur.
Refer to the OEM information for any procedures that are required to relieve the hydraulic pressure. i02143195 Burn Prevention Do not touch any part of an operating engine. Allow the engine to cool before any maintenance is performed on the engine. Relieve all pressure in the air system, in the hydraulic system, in the lubrication system, in the fuel system, or in the cooling system before any lines, fittings or related items are disconnected. Coolant When the engine is at operating temperature, the engine coolant is hot. The coolant is also under pressure. The radiator and all lines to the heaters or to the engine contain hot coolant.
