General Safety Instructions R2.8 CM2220 R101B Page i-16 Section i - Introduction Do not allow water droplets to enter a container of hot oil. A violent reaction can result. Mercury Protect eyes. In case of contact with eyes, flush with water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Protect skin. In case of contact with skin, wash with soap and water. Do not ingest. If ingested, contact a physician immediately. Proper disposal is required. Dispose of in accordance with local and environmental regulations. Vanadium Pentoxide Can be found in some selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts. Protect eyes. In case of contact with eyes, flush with water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Protect skin.
In case of contact with skin, wash with soap and water. Do not ingest. If ingested, contact a physician immediately. Avoid inhalation of vapors or airborne particles. Proper disposal is required. Dispose of in accordance with local and environmental regulations. Electrical Components Batteries Follow these recommended practices when interacting with electrical components. Protect eyes. Wear safety glasses or goggles. In case of battery acid contact with eyes, flush with water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Receive medical attention immediately. Protect skin. Wear rubber gloves and a chemical apron. In case of battery acid contact with skin or clothing, rinse with water for several minutes.
Avoid spreading the acid. Receive medical attention immediately. Do not open the battery caps with your face over or near the battery. Remove rings, watches, long jewelry, or metallic items when working with or near batteries. Ventilate the battery compartment before servicing the battery. Work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid sparks, arcing switches and equipment, cigarettes, pilot lights, flames, and other sources of ignition. Use insulated or non-conducting tools. Neutralize static buildup by contacting the nearest ground surface before working on a battery. Do not touch both battery terminals with your bare hands at the same time. Do not lift batteries by the posts.
Disconnect the negative ( - ) battery cable first. Attach the negative ( - ) battery cable last. Common Hazards Follow these recommended practices when interacting with equipment as the following hazards may exist. High Temperature Area Be alert for high temperature areas which may cause severe burns. High temperature areas may be encountered in the following situations. On products that have just been turned off. On or around exhaust related components (turbocharger, aftertreatment systems, etc). In exhaust gas flow paths. Recommended Practices: Contacting hot fluid lines, tubes, or compartments. Allow components to cool before servicing. Verify the temperature of the component.
Utilize an infrared gun, temperature sensor, temperature gauge, or other reliable method to determine component temperature. Take appropriate precautions before starting work. To buy Cummins Parts and Service Manuals, Training Guides, or Tools go to our website at https://store.cummins.com
