Safety - Section 2 12/01 OM2021 Page 2-12 General Safety SECURING THE DUMP BODY The body pin is located under the dump body at the rear of the truck. This pin is intended to be used as a safety to hold the body in the up position while the technicians work under it. Always store pin in body storage hole. Placement of the pin in mainframe or matching body-up holes located on the body can cause damage to frame or body during dumping cycle. Never work under a raised body unless body safety pin is in the proper position to hold body up. DURING MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL Only authorized personnel can service and repair the machine.
Extra precaution should be used when grinding, welding, and using a sledge-hammer. ATTACHMENTS Place attachments that have been removed from the machine in a safe place so that they do not fall. If they fall on you or others, serious injury could result. WORK UNDER THE MACHINE Always lower all movable work equipment to the ground or to their lowest position before performing service or repairs under the machine. Always block the tires of the machine securely. Never work under the machine if the machine is poorly supported. KEEP THE MACHINE CLEAN Spilled oil or grease, or scattered tools or broken pieces are dangerous because they may cause you to slip or trip.
Always keep your machine clean and tidy. If water gets into the electrical system, there is danger that the machine may not move or may move unexpectedly. Do not use water or steam to clean the sensors, connectors, or the inside of the operator's compartment.
