10 SEBU8726-03 Safety Section Burn Prevention Allow the engine system to cool before any maintenance is performed. Relieve all pressure in the following systems, hydraulic system, lubrication system, fuel system, and the cooling system before related items are disconnected. Cooling system conditioner contains alkali. Alkali can cause personal injury. Do not allow alkali to contact the skin, the eyes, or the mouth. Oils Skin may be irritated following repeated or prolonged exposure to mineral and synthetic base oils. Refer to your suppliers Material Safety Data Sheets for detailed information. Hot oil and lubricating components can cause personal injury.
Do not allow hot oil to contact the skin. Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used. Contact with high pressure fuel may cause fluid penetration and burn hazards. High pressure fuel spray may cause a fire hazard. Failure to follow these inspection, maintenance and service in- structions may cause personal injury or death. Diesel Fuel After the engine has stopped, you must wait for 10 minutes to allow the fuel pressure to be purged from the high-pressure fuel lines before any service or repair is performed on the engine fuel lines. Diesel may be irritating to the eyes, respiratory system, and skin. Prolonged exposure to diesel may cause various skin conditions.
Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used. Refer to supplier Material safety Data sheets for detailed information. Induction System Aftertreatment System Sulfuric Acid Burn Hazard may cause serious personal injury or death. Allow the aftertreatment to cool down before any maintenance or repair is performed. The exhaust gas cooler may contain a small amount of sulfuric acid. The use of fuel with sul- fur levels greater than 15 ppm may increase the amount of sulfuric acid formed. The sulfuric acid may spill from the cooler during service of the en- gine. The sulfuric acid will burn the eyes, skin and clothing on contact.
Always wear the appro- priate personal protective equipment (PPE) that is noted on a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for sulfuric acid. Always follow the directions for first aid that are noted on a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for sulfuric acid. Batteries Electrolyte is an acid. Electrolyte can cause personal injury. Do not allow electrolyte to contact the skin or the eyes. Always wear protective glasses for servicing batteries. Wash hands after touching the batteries and connectors. Use of gloves is recommended. 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. Any contact with hot coolant or with steam can cause severe burns. Allow cooling system components to cool before the cooling system is drained. Check the coolant level after the engine has stopped and the engine has been allowed to cool. Ensure that the filler cap is cool before removing the filler cap. The filler cap must be cool enough to touch with a bare hand. Remove the filler cap slowly to relieve pressure.
